Fair ball Totally Explained

Everything about Fair Ball totally explained

In baseball, a fair ball is a batted ball that hasn't yet become a foul ball, and that...

settles on fair ground between home and first base, or between home and third base, or
is on or over fair territory when bounding past first or third base, or
touches first, second, or third base, or
touches the person of an umpire or player while the ball is on or over fair ground (but a batted ball touching the batter in the batter's box, or bouncing off the ground and immediately hitting the bat is foul even if the contact is over fair territory), or
passes out of the playing field in flight while over fair ground, or
touches any part of the foul pole, including an attached screen, in flight.

It is possible for a ball moving in foul territory to become a fair ball. Batted balls can also be foul balls or foul tips.
On a fair ball, the ball is alive; runners attempt to advance and fielders try to record outs. A batted ball is presumed to be fair until it's ruled a foul ball or a foul tip.

Rules in covered facilities

In retractable or fixed roof baseball facilities, a batted ball is a fair ball if it:

strikes the roof, roof support structure, or objects suspended from the roof (for example, speakers) in fair territory and lands in fair territory, or

becomes lodged in any of those objects in fair territory and doesn't fall back to the playing field. A ball striking or becoming lodged in the roof or suspended object in fair territory beyond the outfield fence is a home run, regardless of where it may land.Further Information
