Question
If a Ball is hit and it hits an outfielders glve and goes over is it a home run if not what is it
ASA Rules please
thanks Kateyln

Answer
Thanks for the question!

Assuming no issue here with fair or foul ball, then the batter is awarded with what is called a "Four Base Award". This is not a home run, just the batter is awarded 4 bases. The hit also does not count towards the home run limit.

I hope this helps answer your question, if not please reply!
