Questions and Answers

1.

When playing in the infield. Where is the play after the batter hits a ground ball with one out, and no runners on base?
- A.
  
  First base
- B.
  
  Second base
- C.
  
  Third base
- D.
  
  Home plate
Correct Answer
A. First base

Explanation
After the batter hits a ground ball with one out and no runners on base, the play is typically made to first base. The first baseman is responsible for fielding the ball and stepping on first base to record the out. Since there are no runners on base, there is no need to make a throw to any other base.

2.

While playing short stop in the in field. When we have a player at first and third with one out, and the batter hits a ground ball to you. Where is the play?
- A.
  
  Third base
- B.
  
  Home plate
- C.
  
  Second base
- D.
  
  First base
Correct Answer
C. Second base

Explanation
In this situation, the play would be at second base. As the shortstop, you are responsible for covering second base on a ground ball hit to you. With a player at first and third, the objective would be to try and turn a double play. The shortstop would field the ball, step on second base to force out the runner coming from first, and then throw to first base to try and get the batter out as well. This would be the most strategic play to make in this scenario.

When we have no one on base with one out. While playing anywhere in the infield and the ball is hit on the ground to you. Where is the play?
- A.
  
  Second base
- B.
  
  First base
- C.
  
  Home plate
- D.
  
  Third base
Correct Answer
B. First base

Explanation
When we have no one on base with one out and the ball is hit on the ground to the player, the play is at first base. This is because the player is anywhere in the infield and the ball is hit to them, so they need to throw the ball to first base in order to get the batter out.

Rate this question:
4.

When you have a runner at first base and the batter hits the ball to second base. What is the play called when the second basemen tosses the ball back to the short stop. Then the short stop steps on second base and throws the ball to first and gets both runners out?
- A.
  
  Ground out
- B.
  
  A double play
- C.
  
  Fly out
- D.
  
  Triple play
Correct Answer
B. A double play

Explanation
A double play is the correct answer because it describes the sequence of events where the second baseman tosses the ball to the shortstop, who steps on second base to force out the runner coming from first base, and then throws the ball to first base to force out the batter-runner. This results in both runners being called out, which is known as a double play.

Rate this question:
5.

When your playing third base and we have a runner standing on third. After the batter hits a ground ball to you and you have no outs. What do you do and where is the play?
- A.
  
  Field the ball to make out number one, and check the runner at third. Then make your throw to first base.
- B.
  
  Field the ball and automatically throw the ball home.
- C.
  
  Field the ball and throw to second
- D.
  
  Field the ball and hold it.
Correct Answer
A. Field the ball to make out number one, and check the runner at third. Then make your throw to first base.

Explanation
As a third baseman with no outs and a runner on third, the correct play is to field the ball and make out number one by throwing to first base. Before making the throw, it is important to check the runner at third to prevent them from scoring. This play ensures that the batter is out and the runner is kept at third base, minimizing the chances of a run being scored.

6.

While playing infield and the bases are loaded with one out. Before the ball is it anywhere. Where are we prepared to make the play?
- A.
  
  First base
- B.
  
  Home
- C.
  
  Third
- D.
  
  Any base
Correct Answer
D. Any base

Explanation
In this situation, when the bases are loaded with one out and the ball is yet to be hit, we need to be prepared to make the play at any base. This is because with the bases loaded, there are runners on first, second, and third base. Depending on where the ball is hit, we may need to make a play at any of these bases to try and get an out. Therefore, being prepared to make the play at any base is the correct answer.

Rate this question:
7.

While playing center field. If we have a runner at first base running to second with one out, and the ball is hit to you on the ground. Where is the play?
- A.
  
  Home plate
- B.
  
  First base
- C.
  
  Second base
- D.
  
  Third base
Correct Answer
C. Second base

Explanation
The play is at second base because there is a runner at first base running to second. As the center fielder, you would need to field the ball and throw it to second base in order to try and get the runner out.

Rate this question:
8.

While playing left field with two outs, and runners standing on first and second. When the batter hits the ball in the air and you catch it where is the play?
- A.
  
  Check runner at third and throw home
- B.
  
  Hit the cut off to make a play at second base
- C.
  
  No play. Thats three outs
- D.
  
  Hold the ball and wait to see what happens
Correct Answer
C. No play. Thats three outs

Explanation
In this scenario, the play is considered to be "No play. That's three outs." because there are already two outs in the inning. Catching the ball in left field does not result in any potential outs or force plays, so there is no need to make any additional plays. The inning is already over with three outs.

Rate this question:
9.

While playing right field with no runners on base, and the ball is hit to on the ground, and you field it before the runner gets to first base. Where is the play?
- A.
  
  Hit the cut off
- B.
  
  Throw the ball back to pitcher
- C.
  
  Hold the ball and wait for the runner
- D.
  
  First base
Correct Answer
D. First base

Explanation
In this scenario, the play is at first base. The ball is hit on the ground and the fielder fields it before the runner reaches first base. Therefore, the fielder should throw the ball to first base in order to try and get the runner out.

Rate this question:
10.

While playing catcher and a runner at first base. There is one out. The runner makes an attempt to run to second after the pitcher releases the ball. Where is the play after you catch the pitch?
- A.
  
  First base
- B.
  
  Throw the ball to the pitcher
- C.
  
  Second base
- D.
  
  Third Base
Correct Answer
C. Second base

Explanation
After catching the pitch, the play would be to throw the ball to second base. This is because the runner at first base is attempting to run to second base, so the catcher needs to quickly throw the ball to second base in order to try and tag the runner out.
