What happens if ball hits foul pole?
If a ball hits the foul pole it is actually fair and, if it hits it above the wall, it is a home run! If you look straight down the foul line, which, if the ball touches, is actually fair, you will notice that the pole is aligned with that line.
Why Is the Foul Pole Fair?
The foul pole is considered fair territory because it is a vertical extension of the foul line, which is also considered fair territory. To be considered foul, a batted ball must not come in contact with any part of the foul pole or foul line. The ball is considered dead and the umpire awards bases accordingly.
Does a foul ball count as a strike?
(A foul ball counts as a strike, but it cannot be the third and final strike of the at-bat. A foul tip, which is caught by the catcher, is considered a third strike.) The batter is automatically out on a strikeout, unless the catcher does not cleanly hold onto the baseball or if the baseball hits the dirt.
Why is strikeout called K?
Henry Chadwick is a little-known baseball pioneer. Chadwick used S for sacrifice and chose K for strikeout. He did so because K is the prominent letter of the word “strike,” which was used more frequently than strikeout. Some scorers use a forward K for a swinging strikeout, a backward K for a batter caught looking.
