Dropped Third Strike = Home Run

@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.

@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.

@officerdepfife ur a moron
@officerdepfife You clearly dont' know your rules.
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.
