Rules on quick returns and batter strikes in baseball
The question asks if a strike can be called when a batter is struck by a quick return after a swing. If the batter is in his box at the plate and the pitcher whips over a strike under these circumstances, nothing prevents it. This is cited as Dick Rudolphs stunt. The text notes no formal rule banning the quick return in this scenario.
