I have a question that I am trying to wrap my head around and understand. I know a ball has to pass the infield in fair territory before going into foul territory to be considered a fair ball. But on a ground ball hit in the infield down the line, if a player is in fair territory, and they touch the ball before it goes into foul territory, a.k.a they try to knock the ball into foul territory with their glove, wouldn’t the ball then be considered a fair ball? I have seen it in my video games that the fielders tap the ball into foul territory and they call it a foul ball. I always figured it’s a huge glitch in the game, but I have had others say no it is a foul ball because the ball went into foul territory before passing the infield, totally ignoring the fact that the fielder touched the ball while in fair territory. Just looking for clarification on that aspect of the fair/foul ball.
