Baseball rule milestones in the early code
The foul strike rule was incorporated into the playing code in 1845. The catcher moved behind the batter to speed up play in 1893. A baserunner was first declared out for being hit by a batted ball in 1901. The batsman was given out on such a play as a result of running. The catching of a foul tip was considered a strike in 1908.
Foul Strike Rule and catcher change history
The text lists events tied to 1901 including a foul strike rule requiring calls for foul balls not caught unless two strikes are on the batter and a catcher position change behind the bat for the whole game. It also notes an earlier 1880 implementation of a similar rule and begins to state a batsman restriction.
Baseball rule changes on credited hits from bat
A historical note states that eight years after a play the batsman was credited with a hit and that this rule was adopted in 1895. The excerpt reflects the evolution of scoring and how a ruling clarified when a batter earned a hit.
