I wasn't speaking to on or off the base.

I think it is just a badly structured sentence. We all know what it's trying to say but the people he is posting it for certainly do not and may be confused.

This reads OUT IF
1. "untouched by a fielder" OR
2. "has passed an infielder..."

1 could be wrong and 2 is usually wrong




Should be changed to:

"The runner is safe when hit by a batted ball while touching a base. FALSE in baseball... In baseball, the runner is declared out if struck by a batted ball at any time unless it is first touched by a fielder or has passed an infielder (not including the pitcher) and no other infielder has a chance of fielding the ball. ."

This makes it usually right
