If the ball hits the mound itself, or the pitching rubber, it's a ground ball. If it hits the pitcher & goes up in the air, it's a fly ball (or line drive).
The mound & rubber are like the bases & home plate...all part of the field of play, all if hit are still ground balls.

It depends on what happens before and after. If it was a high pop-up that lands because someone missed it, it is a missed pop-up. If it is a hard hit ball that bounces real high off the mound, allowing the hitter to safely get to first, it is a Baltimore chop. If it is hit low, hits the mound, and continues to bounce along the ground, it is a grounder, whether it is an out, error or a base hit.

It's a ground ball if it hits off of the mound.

A baseball is considered 'in play' immediately upon hitting the mound. If it stays in fair territory, it is a ground ball and not a fly ball, no matter how high it bounces.

Where does the ball go after hitting the mound?

It's a ground ball - the mound is part of the ground, right?

Any pop fly, or line drive that hits the playing surface on the infield (includes the pitchers mound) is a ground ball.

The mound is part of the ground, so it is a ground ball.

If it hits the ground, then it is a "ground" ball. A "Baltimore chop" is another term for grounder. The term was made famous for a ground ball that was hit up the middle during the1969 world series involving the Mets and the Orioles.

the regulations say A STRIKE is a criminal pitch whilst so referred to as by making use of the umpire, which— (a) Is struck at by making use of the batter and is missed; (b) isn't struck at, if any component of the ball passes by any component of the strike zone; (c) Is fouled by making use of the batter whilst he has below 2 strikes; (d) Is bunted foul; (e) Touches the batter as he strikes at it; (f) Touches the batter in flight in the strike zone; or (g) will become a bad tip. (b) might look the correct bit, and that i won't have the ability to discover everywhere that definitively states that bouncing means that it's not a criminal pitch. rather you should hit this sort of pitch for a single or a house run and it would count huge sort. nonetheless, everywhere else i've got consulted says it is purely a strike if the batter swings and misses. i.e. that it's not a stike (looking), purely a strike (swinging).
