A batted ball hits Home Plate than goes into fair territory. Fair Or Foul?
by John
(Drexel Hill,PA.)
Home plate and all other bases are inside fair territory.
John asked: The batter swings and hits the ball,it bounces off home plate and into fair territory. Is it a fair ball ?
Rick answered: John, thank you for your question.
Home plate, as well as first, second and third bases are located within fair territory.
By definition, a fair ball is a batted ball which: a. settles
on fair territory between home and third base or between home and first base...
In your description, it would be a fair ball.
Yours in baseball,
Rick
