  • 2. 

    Batter A bunts the ball foul on the third strike, batter B slap hits the ball foul on the third strike. Both batters are out true or false.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    False. In baseball, if a batter bunts the ball foul on the third strike or slap hits the ball foul on the third strike, they are not automatically out. The batter is only out if the ball is caught by a fielder before it touches the ground or if the ball is intentionally hit foul after two strikes. Therefore, both batters are not out in this scenario.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    If you hit a ball in the air and it hits the ground in fair territory and bounces over the outfield fence in fair territory you have just scored a home run true or false.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    If a ball is hit in the air and it hits the ground in fair territory, but then bounces over the outfield fence, it is considered a ground-rule double, not a home run. A home run is only awarded when the ball is hit over the outfield fence without touching the ground first. Therefore, the statement is false.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

    There are less than 2 outs and the batter hits an pop up fly ball to the infield. The infield fly rule is in effect if...

    • A. There is a runner on first and second base

    • B. There are runners on first, second and third bases

    • C. Both a and b above

    Correct Answer
    A. C. Both a and b above
    Explanation
    The infield fly rule is in effect when there are less than 2 outs and there are runners on first and second base or when there are runners on first, second, and third bases. This rule is designed to prevent the defense from intentionally dropping a pop-up fly ball in order to get multiple outs by forcing the runners to advance. By invoking the infield fly rule, the batter is automatically called out and the runners are not forced to advance, ensuring fair play and protecting the baserunners.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    You are playing 2nd base and you see the runner on first trying to steal 2nd base. The catcher sees this and tries to throw the ball to you but you are blocked by the runner from making the catch. 

    • The runner is guilty of obstruction.

    • The runner is guilty of interference.

    • You are guilty of blocking the runner.

    Correct Answer
    A. The runner is guilty of interference.
    Explanation
    The runner is guilty of interference because they impeded or hindered the fielder (in this case, the second baseman) from making a play on the ball. Interference occurs when a baserunner interferes with a defensive player's ability to make a play. In this situation, the runner obstructed the second baseman's attempt to catch the ball by blocking their path, which is considered interference.
