BR runs into batted ball

[UmpTTS43]

If the batter has one of his two feet on the ground completely outside of the batter's box and has contact with the fair ball. INT

If the batter has two feet in the box or one in and the other in the air when contact is made. FOUL

Hold on, a ball which strikes the BR while he's in the box is one thing. Ball goes straight down and immediately bounces into the B, sure foul.

BR touching a batted ball is another. Consider a pop up, nobody see's where it went, BR starts for first as F2 steps on the plate they collide, nothing so far, this should be ruled incidental contact thus far. Now the fair ball comes down and srikes BR on the helmet as he has one foot on the plate and one in the box, ball goes into dugout. He ain't getting no double outta me, he's out for being touched by his fair batted ball.

According to
OBR.6.05 A batter is out when—
(g) His fair ball touches him before touching a fielder;

As long as the batter has one foot on the ground entirely outside of the batter's box, I agree.

I don't care if it's OBR, NFHS or DiddleDuck League (LL), I have a fair ball and an F2 making a play, B is leaving/left the box, OUT.

In the OP, the ball didn't bounce up and hit him. It hit him AFTER he started moving. Two feet in front of the plate is not in the batter's box. I've got INT all the way. Anyway you look at it the ball is dead. Some might stretch it to call foul ball, but there is no way there can be any play by F2.

Just so I can start the protest report.....You saw the batted ball hit the batter-runner two feet in front of the plate, and you called it fair?

Circle the wagons.

Uh...what territory is two feet in front of the plate? Not including Calvin Ball, of course.

Foul territory extended???

My apologies, I misread Fitump's post, I thought he was ignoring the int, calling the ball fair, and wanted the catcher to make the play. Yes it is a fair ball and then int.
