"Can a batter legally hit a pitched ball that bounces on the ground in front of the plate before reaching the catcher's mitt? "

You've been given the answer already but here's an easy way to remember it:

A pitch that bounces in the dirt before reaching the back edge of home plate is declared a dead pitch - Men's Slo-Pitch Softball.

All other rule books give the batter the right to offer at such a pitch.
