In college baseball is there a rule covering an intentionally dropped baseball?

thanks

Yes.

Come to think of it

Depending on the outcome, there's a rule for "intentionally dropping" a bat, too.

Were in the college rule book would I find the rule?

Hint: Who (batter? runner? pitcher?) is affected by the rule? What happens to that individual (out? awarded bases? ejected?)

Answering those questiosn should point you in the right direction.

Rule 2 / Definitions A.R.
If a player intentionally drops a fair ball, the ball remains in play. Infield fly takes precedence.

Also-Rule 7-11 / Batting A.R.2.

kbaerslt:

With all due respect, is posting here the same as going to the dentist for you? You were a little obtuse in your question.

I think we all reacted in our own way to say, "huh?"

There are several talented people here that have a great knowledge of all levels, leagues, and rule books. They just need a little more information.

I am confused as to what you really wanted, you asked an obscure question and gave little background of the situation.

Thanks to Robert Harrison for the references.
