Ball 4 wild pitch

[Guest guest]

NFHS Rules:  No one on, 1 out.  Ball 4 wild pitch, on deck batter goes and picks up the ball thinking it was ball 3.  Ruling?

Here is an interpretation for FED that can be found in the BRD (2016 edition, p. 216):

FED Official Interpretation:  Hopkins:  If an on deck batter picks up a live ball:  (1) With runners not moving, the ball is simply dead; (2) with runners moving, the ball is dead and the runner on whom the defense would have played is out. If the umpire cannot determine which runner, the one nearer home is out. (Website 2003 #19)

Agree with the ruling above, no issue there. Also, if runner(s) forced then I wouldn’t get an out. How about this: PB goes to a deep backstop and unforced runner cruises into 3rd....I might have a hard time getting an out as in this example no prayer for a defensive play, thus the on deck didn’t really take anything away. (And let’s not get ticky-tack on what constitutes a “deep” backstop, work with me here.)

There isn't an option to agree or disagree. Fed has their interpretation(s) which guide the ways rules are to be enforced.

It's like saying that you agree with a runner being forced out when the ball is securely held by a fielder who is in contact with a base prior to the runner's arrival.

This interp might be a little confusing, because the batter was (presumably) moving on ball four. 

Keep the batter at first, and then instruct the on-deck batter.

Haha wow dude, relax. I’m sorry you actually missed what my post is about.
