kicked ball

Foot-propelled orb

A kicked ball is a sports term, particularly in baseball and softball, for a ball that a fielder accidentally kicks rather than fielding cleanly.

The ball remains in play, and runners may advance at their own risk.

In basketball, a kicked ball violation occurs when a player intentionally strikes the ball with a foot or leg, resulting in a stoppage.

The umpire ruled it a kicked ball and let the runners advance.
