Questions and Answers

1.

31) The batter steps into the batter’s box and promptly strokes a single on the first pitch. The defensive manager comes out to the umpire and appeals to the umpire that the offensive team is batting out of order. In checking this out, the umpire decides that the batter is a substitute batter and should be allowed to stay on first and not called out. (Rule 3.08(2))
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
A. True

Explanation
The batter is allowed to stay on first because they are a substitute batter, as determined by the umpire. According to Rule 3.08(2), if a batter bats out of order and it is discovered while they are at bat, the proper batter is the one who should have batted. However, if the improper batter completes their turn at bat and reaches base safely, the defensive team cannot appeal the batting out of order and the batter is allowed to stay on base.

The right fielder charges over to the fence and reaches up and is about to catch the ball out over the playing field when a spectator reaches across the fence and tries for a souvenir ball. The fan misses the ball but knocks it out of the right fielder’s glove. The umpire calls the batter out because of the spectator interference. (Rule 3.16)

  True
- B.
