Luis struck out swinging, yet a moment later he was standing safely on first base, and the umpire got every call right. How?
Hint: Watch the whole play, not just the swing.
Answer
The catcher dropped the third strike, so Luis was allowed to run to first and made it.
In baseball, a batter can run on an uncaught third strike when first base is open or there are two outs.
Did you get it?
Nice work. On to the next one.
Got you this time. Try the next one.
