@MrShaqi25 The hand signal may have been only for strike 3, NOT for "out." Technically, it was strike 3. The batter then seems to be looking at his coach or manager, who tells him to run it around. They were beating the other team 5-0 early on. Looks like the losing manager was used to dumb stuff from his reaction.

Officer, you are wrong, sir. Google mlb rules and read the def for a catch. It's not a catch after it hits the ground. Otherwise, all hit balls would be ruled caught and out.
It's the right call. The batter did not abandon his effort after batting. The ball was not a CLEAN catch (it hit the dirt) and with two outs, it doesn't matter if first base was occupied.
When the ball bounces in the dirt, and the batter swings, the catcher must tag the batter for the out or the batter is able to run to first... and in this case all 4 because nobody tagged him!
@officerdepfife Doesn't matter that he didn't drop the ball. The point is that the catcher didn't catch it and it was a strike., therefore the runner was able to run.
@disaznboii19148 I do not know what video you are watching, but he CLEARLY caught the ball after it bounced off the ground!! It does not matter, in the baseball rulebook, that it had hit the ground first!! It is a legal pitch/live ball!!! Batter is out right away on strikeouts!!! He cannot, by rule, take first base.
Rule 6.05(b) Legally caught means in the catchers glove before the ball touches the ground.
6.09 The batter becomes a runner when b) The third strike called by the umpire is not caught, providing (1) first base is unoccupied, or (2) first base is occupied with two out
It hit the ground first, therefore it was not legally caught, therefore he is a runner.
@disaznboii19148 Have you translated the entire Japanese baseball rulebook? If not, I don't think you are qualified to state the rules in this situation.
If you're just referencing American rules, then I remind you that there were runners on base, so:
Rule 7.08 (h), any runner is out if he passes a preceding runner before that runner is out.
So the run doesn't count and the batter is out, though he is credited with advancing to first base.
@disaznboii19148 However, the rule also states "A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate."
It's unclear whether he completely left the dirt circle because we do not see his feet, but the umpire could have called the batter out right then and there if he wished, as the batter did not initially attempt to run to 1B.
Here's another rule. It's not a home run. On a 3rd strike, you get to 1st base on either a wild pitch, passed ball, or error. In youth baseball, 4 bases on a dropped 3rd K happens now & then, but it usually takes multiple overthrows.

There are so many moronic misnomers that are constantly repeated: "Tie goes to the runner" / NO. "On an overthrow the runner gets the base he's going to + one" / not always. "The Infield Fly rule" / OMG, forget it! "Catcher's Balk" / Ever hear of it? "What constitutes a swing?" "When is a runner out of the base path?" "When is a batter out for being out of the batter's box?" "What's a balk?" People don't know about these rules, but stupidly and LOUDLY argue...when the call is against them.
I've umpired for over 30 years. My nephew is now umpiring Minor League. The worst part of umpiring is dealing with players, coaches and fans who DON'T know the rules! After the check swing, the umpire checked with the first base ump as to whether or not it WAS a swing. Then, declared a strike. But, if the ball was not cleanly received, the batter can run...and did. He did not "clearly abandon" his right to run. Defense should have thrown to first, or tagged the batter/runner.
Donkeys!!! when the ump punches the batter out, hes out!!! i know a dropped third strike is a live ball if first isnt occupied or it is and there are 2 outs, but, the umpire signaling out by the fist in the air, means the batter is out!!!
dopes. depending on ruleset the bat is out ifr he leaves the dirt circle around the plate or enters the dugout. this "taking a step toward the dugout" is crap. want to complain? know the rules, jackass.
Rule 6.09(b) Comment: A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate.
The same rule was added in 2007 to Japanese OBR, and this is the semi-final game of the Kanagawa Prefecture preliminary round of the National High School Baseball Championship in 2007.
@wizardofjahs that's not exactly true. The umpire calls them out every time they get a strikeout but if the catcher drops it, the strikeout is void. The ball goes in play.
The ball dropped and the batter checked his swing. The opposing team started heading to the dugout while the umpire asked the first base umpire to see if he swung. Once he called it a strike, then the batter can go to first.
He doesn't have to make an initial break for 1st. The ball hit the dirt before the catcher caught the ball. which alows for the batter to run. If first is occupied there must be two outs before a batter can run on a dropped 3rd strike
Yea. Explaining to the crowd with a mic is for football fans, who are too stupid to realize the rules of play, they have to have shit spelled out for them.
hey did anyone see the 3rd base coaches stance when he was telling the runner to go home, it was like he was posing as a statue. Also does anyone else think its weird that the ump had to like explain to the crowd with a mic what happened,
Yes I know that dropped third is legal with two outs. I did not see the runners already on base legally complete the circuit of bases and therefore thought that they left the field of play before doing so. In that siutation no run should count, but if the other runners went around all the bases then the umpire called it right.
@dummybummyful Pause the video in the beginning and look at the lower right hand of the screen. You will see the bases in different colors meaning that there was at least one base runner. Also watch from :12 to :14 you can see a base runner come into the screen. And there is no need to call names or use all caps.
i dunno what rules the use in japan but in america hes out the moment he steps out of the batters box on his way back to his dugout bc if i remember correctly hes out the moment he begins to leave the field of play, also its not a drop third strike homerun, its still counts a strike out for the pitcher and against the batter who also gets a run scored
according to 7.08 (a) (1), a runner is out after leaving the basepath to avoid a tag. it's a common misconception that simply straying 3' from the path is an automatic out
The dropped third strike was called right,however,there was a runner on first. The third out should have been called either on the runner from first leaving the base path or the batter/runner overrunning a runner ahead of him. Either way no run should score
@dwolfg The runner on first has no impact on a dropped 3rd strike when there are 2 outs and at the 5 second mark it shows there were 2 outs. Only when there is less than 2 outs is the batter automatically out, Also the score was 3-0 with 2 runners on and those 2 runners had scored previous to the batter scoring which made it 6-0. A runner is only considered off the field of play when he steps completely out of play foul territory is considered the field of play. "not a dig at you dwolfg"
Isn't the inning over? Unless the runners touched each base and home plate, they are out for leaving the basepath. That makes 3 outs before the run scores.
@Ireland615 I think he should have been called out for leaving the base path. He walks just out of the dirt in the wrong direction before turning to run the bases, regardless of a dropped third strike and not being tagged. I don't speak japanese so I don't know if this was addressed in the umpirers speech, but I have to disagree with the call.
@Ireland615 Also, I noticed in another comment that the baseruners don't matter. They do. If they leave the field of play without properly rounding the bases, they are out prior to the run scoring. For this to be legit the two runners should have rounded the bases, otherwise the batter crossed the plate before them. This is also illegal.
Something very similar to this did happen in the MLB, in a decisive playoff game between the Angels and Twins on Oct. 12, 2005. A.J. Pierzynski struck out swinging on a pitch in the dirt, everyone started running off the field, and A.J. made it to first (later scoring the winning run). As in this case, it was an umpire blunder. It doesn't matter if the ball hit the dirt or not, if the ump rings him up, he's out. He should just do nothing (or yell "no catch") until the out is made (or not).
This is stupid. The batter should of been automatically out due to the fact he turned away and started heading back to the dugout. Crazy japenese baseball. lol
Does it seriously take 30 seconds for the umpire to explain what just happened? "The catcher didnt tag the batter on a swinging 3rd strike that hit the ground...homerun"
@im99mining the batter swung, and the ball hit the dirt, thus forcing it to a live ball because the catcher did not have control, the rule is you MUST throw the ball to first base in order to get the out
@irishdoggydoo if it was ruled an error, it's not. an error is when a fielder is attempting to make a play on the ball, mishandles it or throws wildly toward whatever base the fielder is trying to get the runner out at. this is just a momentary lapse of judegment by the catcher who should've known to make the tag on the runner/batter to make sure the out is recorded or throw to first base. no error.
@aznmex21 After talking with a major league umpire, it is up to the score keeper obviously, but basically it is the same thing as if a pitcher threw the ball to the first basebam and he just ran into the dugout. Hence, E-3. It is a mental error as well as a physical error in this case. No matter what it is not a homerun but the run is earned. I am still right.
@detro17 Actually, what's embarrassing is you being incredibly arrogant towards an entire culture that has a passion for the game when you don't even know what you're talking about yourself. According to the current MLB rulebook (Rule 6.09(b)), "A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate." No "initial break". That would be stupid.
@seattlehawkins So your comeback is to agree that you're a stupid (you don't even have the right slur for the Japanese people, that's Korean) racist? I don't get it. Yeah, you're right. I show respect for other cultures. And you're dumb. Good one. Way to really drive that point home.
@detro17 ya but that rule means he has to be running on the baseline. the rule means he cant act like hes walking to the dugout but reach first base instead. the batter realized the catcher dropped the ball and ran to first base. HOME RUN ON AN ERROR!
Because you've watched SO much Japanese baseball, right? You must be an expert after watching a bunch of youtube clips. I saw a video of a Canadian singing horribly once, therefore Canadian musicians are all embarrassingly bad.
@DLxTacticalxWarfare no...dropped third strike is almost like a hit without the hit. a batter can only run on dropped 3rd strike if first base is unoccupied otherwise its just strike 3. in the even that the batter DOES run its a force play because he cannot go back to home. so its tag OR throw to first not just tag
@detro17 That's false the batter has until he is one step into the dugout. This is why people think America is stupid. We can't even figure out a sport we created.
@detro17 On the other hand the umpire did ring up the batter giving the out signal which would be a confusing signal from the umpire because he is not supposed to declare an out until the batter it tug or the ball has been thrown to first.
@detro17 That is definitely not true, the batter whom was considered a base runner after the "uncaught third strike" did not leave the base path or batters box, therefore he was still considered a legal base runner. The "downside" to this play although was the fact that the umpire did not declare the call right away, and the catcher was unaware.
If look closely, there are two runners on base at the time of the strike out. Both runners abandoned their baseline before the batter- runner crossed home plate which therefore nullifies his run.
i cant see where the ball ends up but if the catcher brings the ball in to the dug out the runner would get 2 xtra bases from where ever he was heading when the ball left the playing area. good clip.
Even if he swung, or if it was called on the pitch, if Strike 3 is dropped in the dirt, the runner must be tagged (provided first base is open or there are two outs). The strike must be called though.
And the batter never left the circle around home plate. You can't reverse balls and strikes, but here, the call involved: Did the ball go into the dirt?, and it did. Thus, it's a live ball.
In MLB, in such a thing like this, I always see the catcher get up and tag the batter.
Now.. If the rules are the same around the world.. The runner should have been out.. His first steps were towards the dugout, therefore, he was out of the base path.. But, like I said.. I don't know the rules, but this just looks bad..
lol its like football he has to announce the call

@Athletictrainer09 No because the catcher dropped the ball. They have to tag him.
Ireland615 9 months ago
@Ireland615 I think he should have been called out for leaving the base path. He walks just out of the dirt in the wrong direction before turning to run the bases, regardless of a dropped third strike and not being tagged. I don't speak japanese so I don't know if this was addressed in the umpirers speech, but I have to disagree with the call.
Athletictrainer09 4 months ago
@Ireland615 Also, I noticed in another comment that the baseruners don't matter. They do. If they leave the field of play without properly rounding the bases, they are out prior to the run scoring. For this to be legit the two runners should have rounded the bases, otherwise the batter crossed the plate before them. This is also illegal.

Something very similar to this did happen in the MLB, in a decisive playoff game between the Angels and Twins on Oct. 12, 2005. A.J. Pierzynski struck out swinging on a pitch in the dirt, everyone started running off the field, and A.J. made it to first (later scoring the winning run). As in this case, it was an umpire blunder. It doesn't matter if the ball hit the dirt or not, if the ump rings him up, he's out. He should just do nothing (or yell "no catch") until the out is made (or not).

This is stupid. The batter should of been automatically out due to the fact he turned away and started heading back to the dugout. Crazy japenese baseball. lol

Martyr9991 1 year ago
@im99mining the batter swung, and the ball hit the dirt, thus forcing it to a live ball because the catcher did not have control, the rule is you MUST throw the ball to first base in order to get the out

its not a homerun it is an error douchebags
irishdoggydoo 1 year ago
@irishdoggydoo if it was ruled an error, it's not. an error is when a fielder is attempting to make a play on the ball, mishandles it or throws wildly toward whatever base the fielder is trying to get the runner out at. this is just a momentary lapse of judegment by the catcher who should've known to make the tag on the runner/batter to make sure the out is recorded or throw to first base. no error.

@aznmex21 How can it be a homrerun if it is a strike out, you are wrong and I am right. Face it.
irishdoggydoo 1 year ago
@aznmex21 After talking with a major league umpire, it is up to the score keeper obviously, but basically it is the same thing as if a pitcher threw the ball to the first basebam and he just ran into the dugout. Hence, E-3. It is a mental error as well as a physical error in this case. No matter what it is not a homerun but the run is earned. I am still right.

also, you have to run right away, you can't just pause and then decide to run to first...

The batter has to initially make a break for first base, otherwise he's just out.

detro17 1 year ago 19
@detro17 Actually, what's embarrassing is you being incredibly arrogant towards an entire culture that has a passion for the game when you don't even know what you're talking about yourself. According to the current MLB rulebook (Rule 6.09(b)), "A batter who does not realize his situation on a third strike not caught, and who is not in the process of running to first base, shall be declared out once he leaves the dirt circle surrounding home plate." No "initial break". That would be stupid.

DLxTacticalxWarfare 6 months ago
@DLxTacticalxWarfare no...dropped third strike is almost like a hit without the hit. a batter can only run on dropped 3rd strike if first base is unoccupied otherwise its just strike 3. in the even that the batter DOES run its a force play because he cannot go back to home. so its tag OR throw to first not just tag

@detro17 That's false the batter has until he is one step into the dugout. This is why people think America is stupid. We can't even figure out a sport we created.
nickybobby33 6 months ago
@detro17 On the other hand the umpire did ring up the batter giving the out signal which would be a confusing signal from the umpire because he is not supposed to declare an out until the batter it tug or the ball has been thrown to first.
nickybobby33 6 months ago
@detro17 That is definitely not true, the batter whom was considered a base runner after the "uncaught third strike" did not leave the base path or batters box, therefore he was still considered a legal base runner. The "downside" to this play although was the fact that the umpire did not declare the call right away, and the catcher was unaware.
No "trolling" intended

If look closely, there are two runners on base at the time of the strike out. Both runners abandoned their baseline before the batter- runner crossed home plate which therefore nullifies his run.

i cant see where the ball ends up but if the catcher brings the ball in to the dug out the runner would get 2 xtra bases from where ever he was heading when the ball left the playing area. good clip.
stephenspinato 1 year ago
Even if he swung, or if it was called on the pitch, if Strike 3 is dropped in the dirt, the runner must be tagged (provided first base is open or there are two outs). The strike must be called though.
And the batter never left the circle around home plate. You can't reverse balls and strikes, but here, the call involved: Did the ball go into the dirt?, and it did. Thus, it's a live ball.
In MLB, in such a thing like this, I always see the catcher get up and tag the batter.
