Hit By a Pitch On The Bounce

Question?

Robin Hood from Prince Edward Island, Canada asks:

When the pitcher throws a ball in the dirt and it bounces and hits the batter does he still get the base?

Yes! The ball is dead and the batter is awarded first base any time a pitched ball touches him or his clothing

Keywords: Batter
