These videos are by far the best for what they do... thanks a lot for these! But I did have a question. So if the batter ALWAYS gets to walk back to the home plate for free after a home run, why not just dispense with the idea of the batter (also are ‘batter’ and ‘hitter’ always synonymous?) running after a home run in the first place?
Good question, but there is an easy answer. If a batter hit a ball that doesn't clear the fence, it would be a lost opportunity to get as far along the basepath as possible. Basically until the umpire says it's a homerun, some hitters still run as fast as possible to maximize their chances of advancing. It's also a celebratory thing too
Because you have to physically touch each base for your run to count. If you hit a homerun and somehow miss a base while jogging around, the defense can appeal and the batter would be out. That never happens tho except one time that happened when I was a kid in little league. Plus running around the bases is a good time to enjoy your homerun cuz they don’t happen often, and you can taunt the pitcher and fans can cheer on boo
Another reason: because after you hit a massive home run, particularly off a pitcher you don't like, you can take your sweet time going around the bases, celebrate, and rub it in his face.
A batter gets a homerun from hitting it over the fence because the outfielders will have a hard time getting the ball from the fan, or it will get lost.
It's been two years, but a homerun is hitting the ball out of play over the fence. Once the ball is over the fence, it can no longer be played, even if it bounced back into the field.
4 balls = 1 walk Batter will move to the first base And if the first base is already loaded then that player will move to second base.... But suppose there is no player on base 1...but there is a player on base2 and in that case if batter walks to the first base (after 4 balls obviously )....Can the player in the second base move to third base at that time without getting out??
No, the runner on second base would stay at second base. If there are runners on first and second base and the batter walks, they both move up to the next base. If the bases are loaded (runners on first, second, and third base) and the batter walks they all move up and the runner on third base automatically scores.
@@TheOnDeckCircle and if all the three bases loaded ...and batter on base plate runs for double...then the player on first base will come at base3 and player at base2 will come at home plate...there where will player at base3 go ???again on first base ??
1) Is the ball alive when a walk occurs? 2) If there is a runner on first, and he was trying to steal second on ball four, can he get tagged out at second base on a throw by the catcher?
+Posby95 He cannot get tagged out at second, but the ball is alive, so if it bounces away and the runner tries to go to third base too, he can get thrown out there, or if the batter would try to run to second base he could be tagged out there.
What if a hitter hit over the fence and eligible for home run and at the same time runners also present on 1st or 2nd or 3rd base. Are these runners are also allowed to run along side with the hitter who hitt the shot for "home run"? If allowed to run then how many runs will be awarded to batting team for that particular shot.?
Yes they are. If the ball is hit over the fence, then the batter and all present runners go to home plate. If there was one runner, then it's two-run homer, if there were two, then it's three-run homer, and if there were runners on all three bases, it's called a grand slam. Amount of runs awarded is number of runners and one for the batter.
