@@krys3001 Correct.

Why are you saying that doesn't apply on 1-2 count? It doesn't matter if it's a full count or 0-2 from my understanding.

@@justinburgan4184 Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. 0-2 was just an example, but it also applies with 1-2 and 2-2 counts (on 3-2 the wild pitch would result in a walk). What I meant is that on an 0-2 count, if the batter takes the wild pitch then the count is 1-2 (a better outcome than a strikeout) and yet despite doing the right thing he cannot advance to first base. But if he does the wrong thing (swings and misses) then he can. This is a farce.

@@ironlionzion1380 oh ok. I'm picking up what you are laying down.

I wonder why we don't see that more often. It's a very coachable occurence...

@@travisasa01 Because you don’t know it is a wild pitch until the catcher misses it. So unless the pitch is sailing way over the catcher’s head, the batter is going to look pretty bad swinging at a potential wild pitch and have the catcher either catch it or at least knock it down and throw the batter out. Also, it the pitcher does air mail the pitch to the backstop, why shouldn’t the batter get a chance to go to first by swinging. Otherwise, the pitcher made a horrendous pitch will no consequence other than a ball being called.

The old rule is that once the BR reaches the dugout he is out. I myself did not officiate little league games. My understanding is there was no uncaught third strike rule. But if that is the rule that your league established then that's it.

@@coppcastle2856 The ML rule says the the batter is out if he leaves the dirt circle, which is what you said in the video. The NFHS rule says the batter is out when he gives up by entering the bench or dugout area, or with two outs he does not attempt to reach first base before all infielders leave the diamond at the end of the half-inning;

You are 100% correct. At the time this video was made a point of emphasis was to address it with the pitcher and/or Coach before it becomes a problem.

In the MLB the rule is a little different. Also they can declare they’re using the windup and it becomes legal

@@tylermonk214 you are correct. They have to ‘declare’ if they are going into windup or not. Case in point was Dodgers vs Giants when the Giants pitcher did a ‘ball’ because he did not declare if he was doing the wind up. First time ever seeing that at the MLB level. When coaching hs, the umpires are quick to enforce it.

@@jillerstem4723 In HS you are not given the option to declare. You either legally enter the set or windup position.

If the fan interference prevents an out in the judgment of the umpire, Rule 9.02a can be used to record an out and place any runners as needed. A situation like this would be if the ball is handled in live ball territory.

Yes both pitcher and batter get a K

Do you have Facebook or something. I just moved to USA and want to understand baseball well so that I became familiar with this sport

Same he needs to make Morr

Haha I don't think the mic on my phone is that good - more likely that I moved my finger or thumb on the hand holding the phone. Thanks for watching!

I saw no one answered. First base has to be unoccupied before the pitcher comes set. Therefore even if the runner stole second on the pitch (vacating the bag) the batter cannot run there if there are less than 2 outs. The runner on first can advance on a ball in the dirt if he/she chooses

JP is correct. The bag has to be vacant before the pitch. I’m scared when someone has to explain the infield fly rule can be called…..even if the ball is in the outfield!!!

Wow, runners at least attempt to run to first on dropped 3rd in almost every single mlb game I’ve ever watched. Very low success rate. Happens in hs fairly often as catchers don’t block pitches nearly as well. Makes me question did you really play? If so, you must have rode the bench because every hitter knows this rule by age 12!!

@@robertperkins246 okay boomer

Yes. I believe there have been cases in the minor league where pitchers have recorded five strikeouts in an inning.

Native ButNotOfThisWorld , The pitch does not have to hit his hand or glove first. If it hits his chest protector and is held it is a caught third strike. Sounds to me like you are confusing the rule on a foul tip with the rule on an uncaught third strike.

Happy to help you understand! Best of luck this season!

Damien Ryan if there’s no one on its that’s illegal pitch ball added to count

Nfhs rule that’s why it’s a balk if runners are on. MLB is different

@@damienbell3155 but who is the pitcher "fooling" if there is no one on base. How does this adversely effect the batter and deserve a ball???

Newman nfhs point of emphasis, no hybrid position what so ever. Plate ump can call time ask coach to come over and with pitcher explain the illegal stance. Regardless if no one is on base

Thank you for your comment. As mentioned in a prior comment thread, I will try to use less colloquial terminology. After all, I still grit my teeth a little whenever I hear of an umpire being hit by a foul tip! 😁🤣

lol no shit. Thanks for clearing up that unnecessary semantic.

Commonly known as “dropped” third strike….nobody calls it “uncaught” third strike.

@@robertperkins246Read definition of terms.

Excellent points Nick. I love fresh perspectives and new ways to look at officiating strategies. I wish you the best of luck this season!

I have worked with partners who may not realize it but they begin calling the pitch before the catcher has caught it! This particular game had some great situations and I am going to talk about them in a future video. Thanks for your comment Steve! Have a great day!

Also, the U3S is now at the Little League (Majors) level.

@@stevedandy973 That is good to know. I have not officiated a little league game in almost 7 years but I am glad that rule exists at that level to help prepare the kids for the 90' diamond.

Agreed. The rules are clear on that and I will seek to use less colloquial terms in the future. Thank you for your comments Steve!

Umpirezone - Just trying to help out. God knows MLB announcers pass out WRONG information. Also, there is "intermediate" baseball now. The field has 70' baselines and the pitcher's plate is 50' away.

Peter Sonski Yeah hitting the foul pole on the fly is a fair ball. I blame my youngest for distracting me 😁😁

All good 👍

If you hit the foul pole it is a home run

hey all... i have some interesting foul ball rule questions you may know something about... so... i was watching a Twins game and wondered; what if (and is it even possible or feasible) the ball was hit hard off of the outfield wall, then rolled in fair territory all the way back between home plate and first base (or third)... is that a foul ball? then, as if in response to my wondering if it could even happen, twice balls were hit off the wall and rolled with enough speed back towards the infield, showing me that, yes, it could happen... so, a few questions come up... - is the outfield wall (between and including the foul lines on the wall) fair territory in the same way that the field/ground is? - if a batted ball hits the wall or outfield ground and then rolls back between home plate and first or third base, is it a foul ball? - if the ball is batted in the air and hits a foul pole, is it automatically a home run, or could it bounce back into the field and even be a foul ball if it rolls between home plate and first or third? (i'm assuming the foul pole is always a home run, and that hitting the foul pole and hitting the foul line on the wall are different rulings)

There are no baselines those are foul lines. Also you stated first base side then said Mia was playing LF. Make your videos when you can be serious and at least appear like you know what you are talking about.

If the pitcher is in the wind-up, he would need to step back off the plate before throwing to a base as he is not allowed to throw to a base while engaged on the pitchers plate in a legal wind up position. If the pitcher is in a legal set position, he's allowed to turn or step to the base he is throwing to. However, he has to "gain ground" towards the base he is throwing the ball.

@nmculp Yes, that would be legal.

At 340-350 Mark his explanation is wrong. A pitcher can throw to 1st or 3rd while in the wind up. It has to be a direct step with the free foot to the base and the throw must be made. This is always misunderstood

@@702tees4 I'm trying to learn these things, so I may be asking dumb questions. If so, please forgive me. How does your statement interact with the wording in (NFHS 2020) Rule 6, article 2: "With his feet in the wind-up position, the pitcher may only deliver a pitch or step backward off the pitcher’s plate with his pivot foot first."

@@702tees4 This video is for High School. High School does not allow throwing to a base from the windup unless the pivot foot steps back off the pitcher's plate first.

Thank you sir. Both valid points. I do look for this during warm-ups as well. Thanks again!

Rules 5.0.5 and 5.0.9 cover this situation in the official rules. If the ball has hit the dirt, it cannot be caught. Therefore, if the batter swings and misses, it is strike 3 but he can attempt to go to 1st. It doesn't matter whether the ball hits the dirt before or after the plate, or even the plate itself. However, if the batter makes contact with the ball, it CAN be caught as a foul tip, or as a fair or foul fly ball/line drive. Again, the same rules has a comment on this situation. mlb.mlb.com/documents/0/8/0/268272080/2018_Official_Baseball_Rules.pdf

It's a strike if he misses, depending on how many outs and if first base is occupied

It's a strike,legally the ball must be inflight to be called a strike.

In baseball, a "pitch" is treated differently than a "throw". In order for the pitch to be legally caught, it must be caught "in flight", which means if it touches the ground, it is no longer in flight. Since it's not a "catch", it becomes an "uncaught" third strike, which changes the status of the "batter" to a "runner", and is put in jeopardy of being put out by a tag, a fielder touching first base before he reaches, interference, etc.

Good point Greg. In my association, umpires generally either: a) Echo the signals that are given to them as the plate umpire provides them. Or, b) Touch the tip of their cap at the conclusion of the signals. If your association uses others, please feel free to provide them!
