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

Is 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.

Yes! I supplied the same answer to Hardball via the board tool called "Private Message".

If 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....

I had a High School game several years ago...lunkhead swung a pitch that hit him in the helmet.

I called TIME and strike and the coach came unglued.
