cards2323 With runner on first, batter has 1 strike. Batter attempts to bunt, misses ball (clearly an attempt), the ball hits the batter in the leg. The runner advances to 2nd. Is the correct call, a strike and then a dead ball? Thanks
Kaliix Ball is immediately dead when it hits the batter. If he attempted to bunt the ball, that's the same as him swinging at the pitch and it hitting him, it is a strike. R1, who was stealing, goes back to first.
