If you look at this imaginary line, it is approx. 70 feet or so from home plate. You could have a ball hit close to this line, or even slightly over it. spin foul. Tough call either way.
Personally, I think you're putting way too much thought into this. There are much, much bigger fish to fry on a baseball diamond.

If it happens, make a call (fair or foul) and stick with it.

For the sake of consistency, just call it foul. Nobody's gonna argue.

Has anybody ever seen this? Ever? The closest thing I've ever seen to this is a batted ball hitting the pitching rubber and bouncing back foul. I've never seen nor heard of a ball on it's own doing anything close to what the OP outlined. And here we've spent two pages on it. Let's get the season going, for goodness sake!

I agree. Got 6 in already and 3 scheduled this week. There are some things good about the southern states.

You're probably right.
