Slow pitch.
We know that a batter cannot swing at a pitch that has hit the ground or the plate. 7-5-B says, "If the batter swings at a pitch after the ball hits the ground or plate, it is a ball."
But what if the batter swings at a short pitch, and his bat contacts the ball immediately after the ball has hit the ground (or plate). in other words, he swings at (not after) the pitch and hits the ball on the short hop.
Is this a live ball, as in FP or baseball?
