trophyman Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 are there any softball (FASTPITCH) ORGANIZATIONS were when the ball being pitched hits the ground bounces up and hits batter , that the batter doesn't take thier base ???
Why not! Posted April 17, 2010 Report Posted April 17, 2010 If the umpire feels the batter did not make an attempt to get out of the way you don't get the base. They usally say while in a calm discussion with them..... "In my judgement" ::)!

If the ball is a slow pitched ball and she gets hit, then "in my judgement" she could have attempted to move. Under normalfastpitch pitches, if ball bounces, then I am giving them the base....They don't know which way the ball is going when it hits the ground.
BAM2000 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 by the rules, you don't have to move....its a dead ball....batter advances to 1st, if she is in the box
