1. Dead ball. The batter is the only out.
2. Live ball. The batter is out with strike three and the runner is out on the tag.
3. Dead ball. The batter is awarded first for being hit by a pitch.
4. Foul ball. The hands are part of the bat. The runner must return to first.
nothin' like fun at the ole' ball park!

Anytime the batter is hit with a pitch, whether it is a strike or not, what is the first thing that you as an umpire must do?
