Subdeacon Joe Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We're watching the Red Sox v. Brewers game. Pitch deflected off the end of the catcher's glove, shot off at almost 90°. My question is: If a ball bounces off the catcher and hits the batter, is that a struck batsman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 No it is not. Once it hits the catcher’s glove it is no longer a pitch. Or the umpire, or the catcher’s face, groin, etc etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
