Ok 10u fast pitch under babe ruth rules. Batter swings but as she swinging the ball also hits her hand now the ball is in fair what is the official rulining?
Dont have a babe ruth rule book, but in any other rule set its a dead ball strike. If its strike 3 the batter is out.
PONY =A strike is called for each pitched ball struck at and missed which touches any part of the batter
ASA = A strike is called for each pitched ball struck at and missed which touches any part of the batter
This is pretty universal
first off the batter swings and hits her hand the ball goes into fair its not universal bud the rule is likely universal but i don't think you got the right call in this case.
Any pitched ball that strikes a batter is an immediate dead ball. If the batter is swinging, it is a dead ball and strike. Does not matter where the ball goes, it could fly over the outfield fence it is still a dead ball. The instant the ball touched the batter it was dead, end of story.
It sounds like you are 100% with that i call it a dead ball btw 1-1 count
