Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. A runner is standing on second base when a batted ball hits him. The second baseman is behind the base to field the ball. The runner on second should be called out?

Answer: True

The base is only a refuge on an infield fly. At other times the runner must give the fielder a chance to field a ball.

2. Runner on first. The pitcher from the set position and in contact with the rubber, turns his shoulders toward first but does not throw. This is a balk?

Answer: yes

In the Major League Baseball (OBR) this is not a balk, but in high school rules, it is. Runner gets second base.

3. The runner rounds second and stops. As he returns to the bag, the shortstop fakes a tag. What is the infraction and award?

Answer: Obstruction--runner gets third base

Fake tags are considered obstructions. The award is a minimum of one base from the last base attained. Since the runner had already attained second, he gets third. A fake tag also comes with a team warning, and the next person who fakes a tag is automatically ejected.

4. Runners on first. The left-handed pitcher in the stretch, and without moving his feet throws to first. This is legal?

Answer: No

The pitcher must step toward the base.

5. If a player catches a fly ball and then jumps over the fence in fair territory, is it a home run?

Answer: No

It is an out. It is also what is called "catch-and-carry". Any runners on base get to move up one base.

6. Major League players wear lots of jewelry on the field. What types of jewelry can high school players wear as long as it is taped to their bodies?

Answer: Medic-Alert bracelets and religious iconography

The Medic-Alert jewelry must be taped so the medical information can be seen.

7. The batter swings and tips the ball, it hits the catcher's mitt, his mask and ricochets back to the pitcher who catches it in the air. What's the call?

Answer: It is a foul ball, and the ball is dead.

It's a dead ball because the catcher is stationed in foul territory; the ball is dead the instant it touches the catcher.

8. The runner is coming home and the catcher is waiting on the throw. The runner brings his forearms up and drives the catcher into ground. This is legal?

Answer: No

Major League players can pound a fielder like this, but high school ball is more safety conscious. In this case, it is malicious contact and the runner is out AND ejected.

Answer: The runner scores

There is no "must slide" rule in high school baseball. The only stipulation is that the runner must try to avoid contact. This play is what is commonly referred to as a "train wreck".

10. The only time a runner can jump over or hurdle a fielder, is when the fielder is lying on the ground?

Answer: True

In high school ball, a runner can jump or hurdle a prone fielder, but he can never dive over a fielder.
