Since the rulebook says that if any pitched ball strikes the batter, it is a dead ball, regardless if it hits the ground first, that is what we used to make the ruling. The batter swinging at it makes no difference.
(If a better, say, squares to bunt and he offers at the pitch and in doing so, the pitch hits him, a strike is called as he did offer at the ball, and being hit has no relevance except making the ball dead)
Since it is now a dead ball, the runner had to return to 1st base, as that was his position at the time of the pitch.

Batter has a 2-2 count. Pitcher throws a curve ball which bounces and hits the batter. BUT, he swung at the ball (and missed).
Is he out, awarded 1st base or is it now a 3-2 count?

Quote from: LennG on May 09, 2024, 11:28:21 AMYesterday, on Disney, they released a film that hasn't been shown in over 50 years. 'Let It Be' is a movie that hasn't been shown anywhere for 50 years and now, restored is being shown on Disney starting yesterday.
Since we are true die-hard Beatles fans and will gobble up anything new about them, we grabbed our after-dinner snacks and sat down to watch and we weren't disappointed.

We had previously watched the 3-part (6 hour I believe) film by Peter Jackson, "Get Back" which we also loved but there were parts in Get Back that really could have been eliminated and probably 3 hours would have been sufficient, but now, with Let It Be, basically 90 minutes telling how and showing most of the Beatles last concert on the rooftop, was superb.
If you are a Beatles fan, this is Can't Miss TV.
