Ball hits mitt then bat

[Rich Ives]

For OBR the ball is dead. it's a strike. If strike three batter is out (and can't advance because the ball is dead.) Runners return.

I don't think we can definitively tell from the video, but before making a call one would need to "judge" what actually happened.

Swing and miss, Ball off glove, Bat hits ball.

OR

Swing with contact to ball (foul ball), Ball off glove, Bat hits ball.

I watch and listened several times. At first I thought ball was fouled and then hit again after the glove.

However, judging by everyone's reactions, I guess I should conclude it was a swing and miss (Reacting as though an uncaught third strike.)
