In Little League Baseball, can you tag up on a caught foul ball and advance or is it a dead ball?

A runner may tag up and advance after a foul fly ball is caught.[7.08(d)]

A runner can be called out though if he were to interfere with a fielders attempt to catch a fly ball while over foul ground.\n\nA runner is also not always out when hit by a batted ball in fair territory. If the ball has passed a fielder, (excluding pitcher) and no other fielder has an oppotunity to make a play, the runner will not be out if hit. You'll never see that in MLB though!

Well, the pitch would be called a strike. I know that much. The batter does not get to go to first base. I'm pretty sure the ball would be dead, just as if it were a foul ball-- but I can't find anything to confirm this. Take a look at the definition of "strike."\n\nEDIT: From 6.08 "APPROVED RULING: When the batter is touched by a pitched ball which does not entitle him to first base, the ball is dead and no runner may advance."

Straight outta the MLB rule book:  \n\nWILD PITCHES_PASSED BALLS \n10.15\n(a) A wild pitch shall be charged when a legally delivered ball is so high, or so wide, or so low that the catcher does not stop and control the ball by ordinary effort, thereby permitting a runner or runners to advance. (1) A wild pitch shall be charged when a legally delivered ball touches the ground before reaching home plate and is not handled by the catcher, permitting a runner or runners to advance. (b) A catcher shall be charged with a passed ball when he fails to hold or to control a legally pitched ball which should have been held or controlled with ordinary effort, thereby permitting a runner or runners to advance.

A team rebound occurs when a missed shot goes out of bounds before anybody secures the rebound and your team is awarded possession. A deadball rebound occurs on a first foul shot when the ball is "dead" and the team taking the foul shots is automatically going to get another shot.

A passed ball is not charged as an error on the catcher.  However, an errant throw by the catcher when attempting to prevent a steal results in a runner advancing, an error is charged to the catcher.\n\nFor more detail, see MLB Rule 10.08.  The official rules for the scorekeeper.

Well, I got out of little league some years ago, and there was no balks, even in the majors. (the majors is mostly kids 11-12, though some were 10) I had a few times when i pitched and it definatly would have been a balk, but it was never called as one.

Baseball rules are tricky because there are so many ways to itterpret them. This is what I've figured out so far...\n\nIf the ball bounces infront or is nowhere near the plate, it is considered a wild pitch (And believe me, there are jokers out there who will swing at something like that if they think it'll get em to first).\n\nIf the ball is caught by the catcher, the batter is just out. If the catcher drops the ball, it is considered just a passed ball *UNLESS* it is a third strike and results in a base. In that case, it is indeed an error on the catcher.

if the catcher blocks the plate, you are allowed to collide in order to get to  home base, not to jar the ball loose. I used to be a catcher in softball in Texas, I got plowed once because i was over the plate and the ball was being thrown to me, the person plowed me about 2 seconds before the ball got there. You are not allowed to collide in order to jar the ball loose. also remember, the tie goes to the runner.

Under Rule 4-1/Ball in Play, Dead Bal, it talks about when the play should be called dead.  Under Article 3B, it says:\n\n"(Exception: The ball remains alive when an offensive player has simulated a kick or is in position to kick the ball held for a place kick by a teammate.  The ball may be kicked, passed or advanced by rule)"\n\nSo, I guess it's officially covered.  I found it on page 75 of the official NCAA football rules:\n\nhttp://www.ncaa.org/library/rules/2005/2005_football_rules.pdf

i'm a little league coach for my little brother's team of 8-10 year olds. the whole fun thing is definitely important... also put a big emphasis on sportsmanship- the kids always have to cheer their teammates on, never make fun of the other kids, regardless of whether they're your opponents or teammates. respect the coaches!!, what the ump says goes... all that stuff. make sure the kids dont get stressed or tense. often they get nervous when they're up to bat and they're the main focus... also, avoid competition between players!! its a team game, and they have to be supportive and sportsmanlike... good luck!!

No. The same would apply to a run scored on a wild pitch or a passed ball.\n\nBTW if bases are loaded and you draw a walk you are credited with an RBI (but not an at bat) even though the ball was never batted into play.  (This is more for bigcooldaddy or whatever his name is.)

You said the ball was not yet foul, so it would still be in play after bouncing off the 3rd baseman.\n\nI hope you aren't asking this in the middle of a game....lol

Just think of it like baseball. Its the same thing, except you dont swing at the ball with the bat, but instead kick it with you leg. The positions in the outfield are self explanatory(right, center, and left field) and if you catch it out there, they are out. If it rolls to you, just throw it back into play. Have fun!

Forfeit/No Forfeit - Less than 9 players\nConfusion arises on this rule regarding teams not having 9 players. First of all you may not start a game or continue a game that is in progress with less than 9 players. Rule 1.01 - Little League is a game between two teams of 9 players each. A league may NOT make a local rule that states that a game can be played with less than 9.\n\nHowever, if a team shows up to play, but has less than 9 players, or falls below 9 players during the game, it is NOT an automatic forfeit. A decision must be made by the Board of Directors. The board may declare a forfeit or schedule the game to be played or resumed at a later date.\n\nNOTE: In Minor league play, the Board may make a rule defining the play of games with less than 9 players.\n\nDuring regular season play, umpires have the power under rule 4.15 to forfeit a game. I won't list all the items here, but umpires should avoid declaring a forfeit unless the situation is grossly out of control. The rules provide many actions that can be taken to control an ugly situation before a forfeit needs to be declared. An umpire may suspend the game, to be continued later when calmer heads can prevail. A forfeit should be the last resort. In tournament play, a game can only be forfeited by the District Administrator, if it is a district tournament, or headquarters in Williamsport, if it is an All-Star game.

No, they are what they are. A runner advances on a passed ball when the off. scorer determines the catcher should have handled a pitched ball. A wild pitch (usually in the dirt or quite wide of the catcher) is not one the catcher could not reasonably control.\nNo error - the scoring is wild pitch or passed ball.\nYou score them as WP or PB - not E1 or E2

well, in my first year, i shot low, like goal shots, my coach put a goal in front of my face and made me pass to him above the goal, it worked! it was to same case with catching. also, compete withur friend for scooping, have your coach throw the ball out, and whoever scoops it first doesn't have to take a lap.  hope i help!!
