2 strikes on batter. Runner on 2nd (irrelevant really. 1b is open) Batter check swings on pitch in the dirt.HP Umpire does not rule swing. Ball hits off catcher shinguards and goes out of play.
Can the offensive manager or batter ask the base umpire if they swung? Since ball went out of play batter in theory would be awarded 1b for a dropped third strike if base umpire says he swung.
I know defense can appeal a check swing but can the offense?
