Little League baseball, a pitched ball hits the ground, is the ball dead or can the batter hit the ball fair?
Best Answer - Chosen By Voters
A bounced ball is no different from a non-bounced one, except a bounced one is never a called strike. The batter can still get a hit with it, but the batter probably should never swing.

I am the vice-president of our local little league...and I can't believe you even asked that question. The main objective for little leaguers is to learn. Not only learn the rules but good sportsmanship and team work. A lot of the kids that are playing would settle for a pat on the back and a "job well done" from their coach which whom they probably look up to. At least if they get a trophy (which we give out medals) that is something they can keep for a lifetime. And as far as having to pay the doctor's bill when they get injured...well your local little league has to carry insurance on each and every child playing specifically for that reason. As long as they are injured at the ball diamonds while playing ball...the insurance kicks in to help defray costs. The bottom line is....these are kids...they are out there to do their best and have fun...not earn a paycheck.

Little league baseball, a hit ball bounces pass the first baseman, who had a chance to make a play.?The fisrt baseman just missed the ball which now hits the runner. Is the runner out?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker
The runner is not out......the first baseman had the opportunity to field the ball.....he had his chance without obstruction (I assume) from the runner then he is not out......in any baseball game.....remember this happening in a Cub or Dodger game years back....same thing except the 3rd baseman dove at the ball to his left and missing...the ball hit the runner and he was called out.....Don Zimmer came out and protested the call and the same point I made was pointed out by Zimmer...the call was reversed...........take this to the bank and cash it "he is not out"
 Asker's Rating:
This is the answer I was looking for. If the fielder had a chance to make a play and never touches the ball, then the ball hits a base runner, the runner is not out and the play continues. I though the runner would still be out, but I was looking for an example. Great answer and thank you M.M.

little league baseball rules question?Hello, my 9 yr old son plays on a local ALL STAR tournament league. Yesterday an opposing player was caught hitting, scoring with a softball bat/unregulated bat. The umpire caught it, but the score, hits etc still remained. shouldnt have this been a protest game? please help we are very upset about this and cant find any infor relating to this
Best Answer - Chosen By Voters
It depends on when it was caught. If it was immediately after the play, then the play should not have counted. If it was sometime after the game (or even later in the game after the offending inning) there probably isn't much that could be done other than play the game under protest. If you are in the fifth inning, you can't make changes to the second inning.

 For many parents, baseball is baseball and little league is Little League but involved parents need to know, there are important reasons to be in a Little League chartered program! Little League is a registered trademark of Little League sponsored youth baseball and softball which is responsible for districting and chartering local Little League programs throughout the world. In fact, we absolutely believe that parents should seek out the Little League program in their district as the league of choice for youth baseball. Remember, Little League is not a generic brand, it’s an important differentiator that’s good for your children and your entire family. http://www.littleleague.org/
