Video was incomplete. If the ball hits the line, it is FAIR. It is a misnomer and should be called a fair line, not a foul line.

Location of the Foul Lines in Baseball

The next thing I’m going to talk about is the foul lines. To my right behind me is the third base foul line and back behind me to the left is the first base foul line. Now any ball that say is hit on the ground to this side and is inside this foul line it’s going to be a fair ball. Anything say that is hit on the ground to the right of this line over here is going to be a foul ball. The same thing goes for this line over here; the third base foul line, any ground ball that stays to the right of this line is going to be fair and any ground ball that stays to the left of this line is going to be foul. And the same thing goes for a pop-up; if a ball is popped up and it lands in foul ground then it’s a foul ball over here, lands in foul ground it’s a foul ball over here and if it’s popped up and it lands to the right of this line over here it is a fair ball; to the left of this line over here it’s also a fair ball.
