Small point of contention, a ball that bounces before the plate is definitely a ball. But - it is also a live ball. Hitting the dirt doesn't make it a dead ball. And a ball that bounces and hits a batter (in the leg, on the foot) is considered a hit batsmen (then it is dead). A ball that bounces and ricochets off the catcher's shin guard is live and the runners may advance.

Yep, you are 100% correct.
