ART. 2 ... A fly ball is a batted ball which rises an appreciable height above
the ground.
ART. 3 ... A line drive is a batted ball which travels parallel, or nearly so, with
the ground through most of its flight.
ART. 4 ... A ground ball is one which is neither a fly nor a line drive.

Not trying to be a smart a** however, of the definitions you have now read, which one don't you understand.

A foul ball?
A foul tip?
A fly ball?
A line drive?
A ground ball?

All of which are the result of a batted ball.
