nein trifft es nicht zu.wolf hat geschrieben:Ein Versuch die Struktur des ersten Satzes der Definition ein bisschen klarer zu machen:Es ist also ein Foul-Ball, sobald eines der Kriterien zutrifft. Kriterium 4 trifft in unserem Fall und auch bei jedem anderen Catch im Foul-Territory zu.A FOUL BALL is a batted ball
- that settles on foul territory between home and first base, or between home and third base,
- or that bounds past first or third base on or over foul territory,
- or that first falls on foul territory beyond first or third base,
- or that, while on or over foul territory, touches the person of an umpire or player, or any object foreign to the natural ground.
TOUCH != CATCH
TOUCH. To touch a player or umpire is to touch any part of his body, his clothing or his equipment.
wenn er den ball hält ist es ein catch, wenn er es fallen lässt ein touchA CATCH is the act of a fielder in getting secure possession in his hand or glove of a ball in flight and firmly holding it; providing he does not use his cap, protector, pocket or any other part of his uniform in getting possession. It is not a catch, however, if simultaneously or immediately following his contact with the ball, he collides with a player, or with a wall, or if he falls down, and as a result of such collision or falling, drops the ball. It is not a catch if a fielder touches a fly ball which then hits a member of the offensive team or an umpire and then is caught by another defensive player. If the fielder has made the catch and drops the ball while in the act of making a throw following the catch, the ball shall be adjudged to have been caught. In establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder shall hold the ball long enough to prove that he has complete control of the ball and that his release of the ball is voluntary and intentional.
Rule 2.00 (Catch) Comment: A catch is legal if the ball is finally held by any fielder, even though juggled, or held by another fielder before it touches the ground. Runners may leave their bases the instant the first fielder touches the ball. A fielder may reach over a fence, railing, rope or other line of demarcation to make a catch. He may jump on top of a railing, or canvas that may be in foul ground. No interference should be allowed when a fielder reaches over a fence, railing, rope or into a stand to catch a ball. He does so at his own risk.
If a fielder, attempting a catch at the edge of the dugout, is “held up” and kept from an apparent fall by a player or players of either team and the catch is made, it shall be allowed.
