In baseball, what is the call when the ball gets stuck in the umpire's mask or gear?

In answering your specific question of what is the call when the ball gets stuck in the umpire's mask or gear:





Rule 5.09(g) states - A pitched ball lodges in the umpire's or catcher's mask or paraphernalia, and remains out of play, runners advance one base. If a pitched ball lodges in the umpire's or catcher's mask or paraphernalia, and remains out of play, on the third strike or fourth ball, then the batter is entitled to first base and all runners advance one base. If the count on the batter is less than three balls, runners advance one base.In baseball, what is the call when the ball gets stuck in the umpire's mask or gear?
If it's a batted ball, it is simply a foul ball.


However if it is a pitch that gets past the catcher, it is not always just a dead ball. If the pitch is either strike three, or ball 4 and entitles the hitter to advance to first base , all runners are awarded one base without the liability of being put out. So if it is ball four, all runners, including the hitter, are awarded one base. And if first base is open, or there are 2 outs, all runners, including the hitter , are awarded one base.In baseball, what is the call when the ball gets stuck in the umpire's mask or gear?
the umpire is considered part of the playing field, so if the ball got passed the catcher and is not a foul ball and lands gets stuck in the umpires gear. The ball continues to be live and is not a dead ball, therefore runners can advance at there own risk.
It depends. The umpire still must make a call. If he thinks the pitch was in the strike zone, the call would be a strike, and vice versa. If it was fouled of the bat, it would, of course, be a foul ball.
Normally a foul ball. There are not to many other ways a ball can get stuck like that.
if that ever happens it should be 6 auto runs. and the other team should have to play with 2 outfielders
