Line drive out or base hit?

Jiey asked: So a line drive to the pitcher...it hits the pocket of his glove, knocks the glove off his hand and glove hits ground, ball stays in glove.

Batter reaches first base.

Safe or out?


Rick answered: Jiey, thank you for your question.

The short version answer to your question is base hit.

Just recently answered a similar question, you can locate the details on the site at catch or not.

Yours in baseball,
