What occurs when a batted ball hits the ground and rebounds high into a player's shirt?

When a batted ball strikes the ground and then rebounds into a player's shirt, this situation is treated under the rules of baseball regarding batted balls that become stuck in a player's uniform. According to the rules, the ball is considered dead once it contacts the player in this manner. As a result, the batter is awarded two bases. This outcome is intended to maintain fairness by penalizing the defensive team for the ball being made dead due to it being lodged in the player's shirt.

In contrast, the ball remaining live or declaring the batter out does not apply here because the interference caused by the lodged ball leads to the play being ruled dead. Similarly, the notion of a runner being forced out at second does not occur in this scenario since the ruling focuses on the status of the batted ball and the batter's advancement. Therefore, awarding two bases to the batter reflects the appropriate response to this unusual play on the field.
