[edit] CSD

I cleared the CSD notice, this article appears to qualify as a stub, and is in line with most of the other articles in: Category:Baseball_terminology. This article also contains more information then the Wicktionary entry. If you still think it should be deleted, please bring it through AFD. xaosflux Talk/CVU 04:37, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Official definition
The position of the pitched ball does not matter in the event of a check-swing.
There are two interpretations of when a swing is truly checked:
On an attempted swing, the bat cannot break the front plane of home plate.
or
On an attempted swing, the bat may not travel past the plane of the player's belt buckle. This plane runs perpendicular to the batter, bisecting him at the belt buckle.
An either/or method is used in the case that the batter's natural stance is not traditional.
Anyone think this is good? --Axion22 19:24, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
- More Research
The details on rule ยง9.02 use the term "half-swing." Can it be concluded that the a successful check-swing is anything less than a half-swing? --Axion22 19:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
