Question

Guest Mike Kasch

Ball hits in fair territory BEFORE 3rd base.  Takes a hop into foul territory BEFORE the base.  While it is in the air over foul territory, 3rd baseman grabs the ball, while he is in fair territory.  Is this fair or foul?

Foul 

 

the position of the ball is what is the deciding factor. Where the player is standing is not relevant. Since in your example the ball was over foul territory, before passing third base, when touched it is a foul ball. To be fair it would have to,pass third in fair territory.

Simplistic answer does serve the OP poster because the gist of his question is where the fielder was. 

Let’s leave it at that.
