Text | “What are passed balls?” A passed ball is one which passes the catcher, in any form, if it is within reasonable stopping distance, upon which a base is made. If a base is run from, and the player is forced to return again to that base, for fear of an out, then it is not a passed ball. If the pitcher delivers a ball so wide that it cannot be reached, then it is not a passed ball, but a “no ball.” If he pitches it over the catcher's head, the catcher is not to be held responsible for a passed ball, but it becomes an “over pitcher,” and the pitcher is to be credited with the poor play. |
