fair balls
Playable batted balls
Fair balls in baseball are batted balls that land or are touched within the field of play, bounded by the foul lines extending from home plate through first and third base.
A ball that lands in fair territory but rolls foul before reaching first or third base is foul; one that lands foul but rolls fair before the bases is fair.
The umpire signaled fair ball as the grounder stayed inside the line.
