never touched
ball rolls backwards towards catcher who lets it roll

assuming the backstop is in foul ground ;) ;) :D

and the ball settles there.

BlueDevilRef Fri Dec 18, 2015 08:10pm
Yep. Foul ball

What if it had touched pitchers plate as it rolled back toward foul ground? If nobody touched it, would it still be foul?


I wish I had a cool signature

No, I saw them on the first line. It was the second line that drew my attention.

I agree with Mike... why does the ball need to settle there?

While acknowledging that Cecil was kidding around, I defend his comment based on two things:

1. The OP never said the ball struck the backstop, and
2. Therefore, until it "settles", it is possible (in a TWP sort of way) for the ball to spin back into fair territory without being touched.

:D

Fair enough. :)

CecilOne Tue Dec 22, 2015 04:32pm
And, the OP did not say anything about crossing the fair/foul line
