You think you have got all the rules in baseball all figured out? Well think again.
Many of these rules will actually leave your jaws hanging, just don’t let them hang too low enough for a baseball to pass through because there are going to be a lot of balls flying around very soon.
From getting out before a fielder catches the ball, to balks and foul tips, we are going to be looking at some rules that are just straight-up bizarre.
Rules that would make you go like “what just happened…..is that even legal?”

Are you serious. If any fan is watching and they didn't know every rule you showed,they should stick to knitting

@let'sgobrandon..I agree with you 100%...and thank you for your opinion on BIDEN!!!!!
The word "never" should be removed from the title. These are all pretty well known rules.
None of these rules are bizarre or complex. And, you got some of them wrong. You get a D on your thesis.
Reggie Jackson was the first player to ignore the no-fraternization rule before a game. As an Oakland A, he started talking to a team from the opposing team. The poor player didn't know what to do because he knew he wasn't supposed to talk to Reggie, but Reggie kept chatting. Jackson was fined for it, refused to pay the fine, and continued to ignore the rule. Eventually all players came to ignore it.
Nice video. The catcher’s crouch is especially interesting. 4:00 The evolution of catchers’ equipment-from masks, to shin guards, to the mitt-allowed the catcher to move closer and closer to the plate. With modern equipment, a catcher needn’t worry as much about injury, and can frame pitches and allow the umpire a better view. Whereas previously, with small, primitive glove-mitts and later the classic pillow-mitts, he needed two hands to catch. And standing upright and farther back was the only practical way to catch. The invention of shin guards and better chest protectors helped make it easier to block pitches in the dirt and take foul-tips. Yet always an extremely demanding position. If not your hands taking a beating, then your knees. There’s a reason they call it “the tools of ignorance.” The mental aspect is also demanding.
These are all pretty standard rules.
This video is a joke. For example, only someone who knew nothing about baseball would find the infield fly rule or balk rule, bizarre. They are there for a reason. Why don't you research the reason instead of providing click bait for the rule impaired fans that flood MLB parks every day.
The infield fly rule does NOT automatically treat the ball as caught. What it does is declares the batter out regardless of a catch in order to remove the force on the runners, BUT WHETHER IT'S CAUGHT STILL MATTERS as all the rules of tagging up are exactly the same. If the ball is not caught, the batter is still out but the runners don't need to tag up. If it is caught the runners need to tag up or risk getting doubled off.
I think every baseball fan knows these rules
this is kind of like the nascar thing sunday. before it got rained out they were giong to put larson in the 5 even though he wouldn't get the points. well because they were under a red flag apparently the rule is ok but you still have to drop to the back of the longest line on the restart. now this didn't end up being an issue but me and my dad were discussing it and he's like why? i said probably because under caution that's exactly what would happen if you managed to not go a lap down (which at smaller tracks could happen) and i guess this is a fair way of evening it up. then i got thinking............. they don't usually have this happen under a red flag it's usually done under a caution or if desperate enough even ounder green flag conditions. so when was the last time this was done and did somebody have to go get the rule book to find out? i don't mean that to be insulting, but if you haven't' had to enforce rule 23.9a in 40 years, and most of the officials weren't working the last time that rule came up............. i'd have to look it up. i 'm not trying to insult the nascar guys, but i assume they don't have the whole rule book memorized especially for something that may never happen and may never have happened. and nascars been around 75 years. so when was the last time that rule had to be found out? like i said all the driver changes i've seen during a race has been u nder caution. and i've been a fan since the early 80's. i mean i 'd say it's safe to assume that hasn't happened much?
If the proper batter is on base, he is skipped in the lineup and the next batter becomes the proper batter. This can only happen if the team has gotten away with batting out of order already in the inning.
Nothing strange about those rules. Play a season or two and you'll see most of those occur....aside from the umpires being treated so well.
Regarding a missed or dropped third strike, with 2 outs a batter can attempt to advance on a dropped strike with or without a runner on 1st base.
with two outs and first base occupied, runners are forced to advance
@@geoffreyhooker9005 I agree what with you are saying, but the batter is not forced to run? It would be incredibly unproductive and if he didn't, but as far as calling it a force, would be inaccurate.
@@toddphipps5496 The batter becomes a runner on strike three unless first base is occupied with less than two out. Retiring a batter after strike three not caught is just like retiring a batter who hits a fair ball not caught. See OBR 5.05 and 5.06 for more details.
10+ years calling games behind the plate.... no 2 games are the same, and you see some very weird plays. the rulebook covers them all. many rules are so strange that at clinic we have to act out the play so the rookies understand. best game in the world!!!!
Even though only 3 outs are required - I'd like to see a Quadruple Play - where all 3 baserunners are put out, and also the batter.
Me too! And, while there are a great many things I don’t know, you and others may already know that if done with the runner who occupied third and managed to cross home plate before the third out was recorded being the last to be ruled out, the fourth out would technically count in order to negate the run.
Otherwise, the run would have to count.
There is a way to record 4 outs. It’s explained in Ron Luciano’s book, “ the umpire strikes back”
if you're going to talk about bizarre rules you need to make sure you're getting them right. You're not doing a good job through infield fly and balk.
I laugh at the Ground Rule double... it's NOT part of the ground rules.. it's actually merely a 2 base award from time of pitch. Ground rules are field/park specific.. that's not. I do know the uncaught 3rd strike comes from the very early days of the sport even before gloves.. it's considered that after strike 3.. it's a live ball.. if you catch it, its just like a line drive.. if you don't, it's treated as if you put it in play...again.. from the early Knickerbocker rules..
Catchers can balk too
Not really. An infraction by the catcher causes a balk to be charged to the pitcher.
I understand the infield fly rule but why shouldn't the defense take the responsibility for catching the ball. I think that if the infield fly rule is in effect if the fielder misses the catch that the runner should be awarded 1st base and the other runners should get 2 bases. To me that makes more sense than just assuming the batter would be out. Once it is called the fielder must catch the ball.
The main point of the rule is to make sure that the game can progress predictably. With your version - what happens if someone manages to run from first to home? Do they have to go back to third? If they're on second with no one on first, is there a reason for them to try to run at all?
With the way the rule currently is, runners have a predictable choice, that mimics a normal play: They can run if they think they can make it, or they can stay. If the fielder drops the ball, that team will likely have trouble caching anyone who is trying to run.
@@DanStaal Sometimes the fielders have to deal with sun or rain getting in their eyes. They may misjudge the fly ball or somehow loose it all together. I was just saying make the defender ACTUALLY make a play on the ball especially if it should have been caught. Most of the time the hitter or the baserunners would have made to the next base on a fielding error. I have seen where the infield fly wasn't caught because there was confusion between two different defense players trying to field at the same time. Do you think the defense should be awarded for that? They can still call it an infield fly rule but still make the fielder do his job. I have seen the infielder go like 1/3 of the way to the outfield and it still get called. I'm referring to the 2012 Atlanta Braves playoff game. You remember that one. And yes that was a botched play that benefited the defense.
@@DanStaal Lets just say on the baserunners situation they get a minimum of 2 bases and the rest would be up to the decision of the baserunner. so lets say they risk it by going home they they were tagged out at the plate then they would be out because at that time the ball should be recovered to make a play at the plate.
As another example I have seen a ground rule double that would have easily scored all runners on base have to go back to the 2 base rule when even the batter might have had a triple otherwise.
@@DanStaal I noticed you said if someone was on 2nd and no one on first they wouldn't try at all. the infield fly rule does not apply when there is not a force at 2nd or 3rd
What you said really seems like a better rule. No incentive to drop it on purpose there and like you said no reward for dropping an easy one. I don't know about two bases, but for sure one at least. Umpire decides one or two based on where the ball is and how it is misplayed would be fun. The other comment about running from first to home would almost never happen and some other comments seem like he doesn't really understand your idea or the rule or maybe baseball in general. I'd think if, once it was misplayed, the play was dead and bases were awarded it would be fine.
Your Foul Tip rule definition is out of date. It was changed a couple of years ago, and no longer refers to the catcher's hands. The current definition reads: A FOUL TIP is a batted ball that goes sharp and direct from the bat to the catcher and is legally caught. It is not a foul tip unless caught, and any foul tip that is caught is a strike, and the ball is in play.
5.09 a 2 further clarifies what is considered caught, and explains it may first hit the catcher's body or paraphernalia.
So if a ball hits your glove, and goes up in the air, could you catch it with your bare hand?
@@Qwerkybsbl that's the interpretation we've been using, yes. "Sharp to the catcher," meaning straight back. A catch being defined as using the hands (not just the glove).
@@Qwerkybsbl The rule was recently changed. The rule used to say ball must go sharp and direct to the catcher's hand or glove and if held was a foul tip. A ball that went sharp and direct and hit the catcher's chest protector was not a foul tip. They changed it to read as long as it was caught before hitting the ground, it is now a foul tip.
So if the foul tipped ball gets stuck in the catcher's mask, can he pull it out for the out since he didn't deliberately catch the ball in the mask, or does the act of removing it make it using his equipment to catch the ball?
@@fishingthelist4017 If the ball gets stuck in the mask, it would be a lodged ball. Dead ball and not a catch.
I wish UA-cam didn’t take away my ability to see how many more dislikes there are than likes in this one.
Thanks, but way too much style than substance for me.
