Ball hits bat twice when bat is still in batters hand

2016/7/15 16:51:28


Question
Ball is hit into the ground, bounces up and hit's the bat again while the batter is finishing their swing. I know the batter is out, but how is it scored?  Some say a strike out, does not seem that way to me.  I would think maybe interference.

Answer
Hi Bill,

Thank you for your question.  Coincidentally, your question is almost exactly like the one I answered on 4-7-11 that the questioner entitled "Batter or Batter Runner bat hitting ball second time."  Please refer to it.  The batter isn't out in your scenario, either.  It is merely a foul ball.
