Baseball Hitting Myths

baseball hitting myths




For baseball players!?!?!?!?!?

The other day in my baseball game I hit a grounder to the short stop and I was running to first base. I got to the bag the same time the ball did. I always heard and I was pretty sure the tie went to the runner and I said that to the umpire when he called me out and he was like “oh that’s a myth” and I was like what? So was I right or the ump.

It depends on the umpire. Tie SHOULD go to the runner.
However there is no rule that states that a tie goes to the runner. Well at least not in those exact words. The portion of the rule in section 6.05 that applies to this states, “A batter is out when after he hits a fair ball, he or first base is tagged before he touches first base.” Since the rule states “before”, it is easy to assume that a tie does in fact go to the runner. But, since this is a judgment call you won’t win an argument by yelling “a tie goes to the runner”.
