What is the foul ball in baseball?
Are the foul balls accidental?
The foul ball is any batted ball that can’t meet the requirements for fair ones. Its most frequent reason is settling the ball in the foul territory between the home plate and first or third base. It can bounce or roll past these bases or have the first bounce there.
Most foul balls happen accidentally. On rare occasions, they become a part of the strategy. For example, the players know that the dropped long foul balls help to keep the tie rather than sacrifice attempt.
