🚨OFFICIAL RULING FROM MLB🚨
I reached out to MLB since there is a lot of confusion regarding this play:
“In our Umpire Manual, here is the definition of a fair ball:
FAIR BALL Definitions of Terms: When in contact with the ground, a ball must be in contact with fair territory and not merely over fair territory in order to be adjudged to be fair.”
MLB acknowledged an error was made.
