Myth: Anytime a coach touches a runner, the runner is out.
Busted: The runner is out if the coach PHYSICALLY ASSISTS the runner. Hand slaps, back pats or simple touches
are NOT physical assists.
Myth: The batter is out if he starts for the dugout before going to first after a dropped third strike.
Busted: The batter may attempt first base anytime prior to entering the dugout or a dead ball area.
The batter becomes a runner when the third strike is not caught. Therefore, if there are 2 outs and there is a
runner at first, first and second, or bases loaded, the batter creates a force by becoming a runner. These
runners are all forced to advance and an out may be obtained by making a play on any one of them. If the
bases are loaded the catcher may step on home or throw to third, second or first.
Myth: The batter may not switch batter's boxes after two strikes.
Busted: The batter can switch boxes at any time, provided he does not do it after the pitcher is ready to pitch.
