Ball hits home plate


Question
ASA slow pitch - a batted ball hits home plate and rolls in front of home plate between the foul lines.  I believe that the ball is fair, because it was still in fair territory.  An umpire called a dead ball because it hit the plate.  What rules in the ASA rule book would clear this up?

Answer
Hi Jim,

By def....A fair ball is a batted ball that is 1st touched or settles over fair territory.

"An umpire called a dead ball because it hit the plate."  I don't know where they got that rule, ASA has no such rule and a batted ball hitting just home plate has nothing to do with anything re: a dead ball

Home plate is fair territory (not that this enters into this ball being fair) in front of home plate is fair territory, this is a fair ball.  The umpire was incorrect, badly.
