43) With a runner on second the pitch is fouled off and goes into the parking lot. The umpire gives the catcher a new ball and the catcher throws it to the second baseman covering second base to pick off the runner who has not gotten back to second yet. The base umpire calls the runner out. (Rule 5.11)
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

According to Rule 5.11, if a ball goes out of play and a runner has not yet reached the base that they are advancing to, the runner is awarded that base. In this scenario, the runner would be awarded third base since the ball went into the parking lot. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

50) The pitch is delivered with a runner on third base and the catcher misses it. While the catcher is chasing after the ball the pitcher comes in to cover the plate. The catcher gets the ball and turns to throw to the pitcher covering. The batter sees that the runner from third is going to be a dead duck, so the batter moves in front of the pitcher while trying to look like it is a move to get out of the way. The umpire calls the runner safe at home and no interference. (Rule 6.06(c))
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False
4.

46) The pitcher is painting the outside corner of the plate and the umpire is calling strikes. The batter is concerned about missing an outside pitch with the count 0-2 and crowds the plate. The pitcher and catcher see this and decide to pitch to the inside corner. The pitch is made inside and the batter swings; however, the ball hits the batter on the arm. The umpire awards the batter 1st base. (Rule 6.05(e))
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. False

Explanation

The statement is false. According to Rule 6.05(e), if a batter is hit by a pitch that is in the strike zone, it is considered a strike, not a hit by pitch. Therefore, the batter would not be awarded 1st base in this situation.

The runner is called safe at first. (Rule 6.05(j))
- True

- True
- False

44) The batter is not happy with the ball and strike calls of the umpire. To show his/her displeasure with the umpire the batter refuses to get into the batter’s box when told to do so by the umpire. The umpire calls a strike without the need for a pitch to be delivered. (Rule 6.02(c))
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

According to Rule 6.02(c) in baseball, if a batter refuses to get into the batter's box when instructed by the umpire, the umpire has the authority to call a strike without the need for a pitch to be delivered. Therefore, in this scenario, since the batter refuses to get into the batter's box, the umpire can call a strike.
