Here is the situation we experienced in Little League baseball: The bases are loaded and the batter hits the ball down the third base line. All the base runners advance and score. But as the batter is reaching home plate, the outfielder throws the ball and it bounces off the ground and hits the batter in the leg. If the umpire determines another infielder does not have a chance, the ball is alive and in play.
The batter hits a ball on the ground toward the hole. The third baseman charges in on the grass to try to cut the ball off as the shortstop breaks deep toward the hole while the runner is advancing. The ball gets past the third baseman without the third baseman having touched it and strikes the runner in the base path. The shortstop had a play on the ball. Ruling: Runner from second is out and the batter-runner is awarded first base.
The ball passed by but was not touched by an infielder other than the pitcher before striking the runner. However, another fielder behind the runner was deprived of an opportunity to field the ball. The batter hits a ground ball toward the hole.
The third baseman charges in on the grass to cut the ball off and the shortstop breaks deep toward the hole as the runner advances. The ball is deflected by the third baseman in the direction of the shortstop. The shortstop would have had a play on the ball, but the ball struck the runner, resulting in no play being possible.
Ruling: Runner from second is not out and the ball is alive and in play assuming no intentional interference by the runner from second.
The fact that the shortstop would have been able to make a play on the ball had it not struck the runner is disregarded because the ball was deflected by the first infielder.
Runner is stealing on the next pitch. The batter hits a ground ball back toward the pitcher. The pitcher deflects the ball in the direction of the second baseman, who definitely has a chance to make a play on it. However, the ball strikes the runner before it reaches the second baseman. Ruling: Runner from first is not out; the ball remains alive and in play assuming no intentional interference by the runner.
Compare this play with the following play. Runner is running on the next pitch. The pitcher deflects the ball in the direction of the second baseman. As the runner is running directly to second base, he unintentionally bumps into the second baseman, who is attempting to field the deflected ball. Ruling: Interference is called and the runner from first is declared out. Even though deflected, this is still a batted ball and the runner must avoid the fielder. The batter-runner is awarded first base.
Batter shows bunt, the first and third basemen move in, and the shortstop moves to cover third. Yadier Moilna touched by batted ball after it passed infielder. Ball Deflects off a Fielder and Strikes the Runner. A runner should not be called out when struck by a batted ball that deflects off a fielder, including the pitcher.
The runner is not out unless the fielder near the ball has a chance to make a legitimate play on the ball and the runner interferes with the fielder. Deflected balls that strike the runner are rare. I had to go into my dusty archives to find this one. The Reds hosted the Dodgers on June 19, In the bottom of the seventh inning, Paul Bako was batting with Joey Votto on first. Fortunately for the Reds, Votto continued to run, and the ball remained in play.
If the Dodgers second baseman could have made a play on the ball, then Votto could have been called out for interference. With the exception of an Infield Fly Rule situation, if a runner is struck by a batted ball while occupying a base, he should be called out if he is interfering with a fielder who is attempting to make a play.
The ball remains fair and makes contact with the runner who is standing on third base. Because the third baseman was not attempting to make a play on the ball, the runner should not be called out. If he had reached the base and was on the bag when he got hit, he would have been called out because he was impeding an infielder from making a play. If the umpire judges that a runner intentionally gets hit by a batted ball to break-up a DP, both the runner and the batter-runner are out under rule 6.
This scenario is outlined by Rule 6. For this scenario, imagine there is a runner on second base and the batter hits a ball in the hole between third base and shortstop. For this rule to come into play, the third baseman would first need to make a play on the ball and miss the ball. After the third baseman missed the ball, the ball hits the runner. And while all of this is going on, the shortstop was in a position to make a play behind the third baseman and the runner.
If all of these things are true for this scenario, the play would be called dead, the runner would be out due to interference, the batter would be awarded a single, and whichever infielder was the closest to the play would be awarded the putout. Most baseball players would agree that a runner is out after getting hit by a batted ball, but there are actually a few scenarios where a runner is not out after getting hit by a batted ball.
As eluded to in the previous section about why a player is out after getting hit by a batted ball, one scenario where a runner is not called out after getting hit by a batted ball is after a fielder excluding the pitcher has made a play on the ball. According to Rule 6. If a baserunner were to get hit by a ball after an infielder misses the ball, the ball is still in play.
The defense will play the ball as it is and the offense can advance bases at their own will. The play would be similar to how the defense plays a ball that bounces off of a wall. The video below is a great example of this play happening during an MLB game. The shortstop made a play on the ball, missed it, and the ball ended up hitting the runner. The runner was not out because the infielder made a play on the ball and there was not another infielder who was in a position to make a play.
Another scenario in which a runner would not be called out when a batted ball hits them is after any fielder pitcher included first makes contact with the ball and the ball deflects into the runner.
