Hardball If a batter tries to swing on a pitch and the ball hits his front forearm....what is the call ? He completed the swing.

Welpe Hardball wroteIs the pitch a strike if the ball hits him during the swing ? Yes it is. The ball is dead and a strike is called. If it is the third strike, the batter is out.
BestUmp mbcrowder wroteDead ball strike. Yes! I supplied the same answer to Hardball via the board tool called "Private Message". 😎
shickenbottom rbmartin wroteIf he swings at the pitch, it's a strike. Even if it hits him in the forehead. Or some other more valuable place. But watch for the concussion symptoms, because we stayed at a Holiday Inn last night and we've got it covered....:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
