| Posted | Discussion |
| Jan. 16, 2018 Steve in Tucson Men's 70 22 posts | Base Runner in jeopardy or not? This situation came up in a game toady. The batter swung and missed the ball for a strike. The catcher caught the ball on a bounce and threw to first base where the runner had legally left the base toward second but was tagged by the first baseman as he returned to first but had not yet touched the base. Is the runner out? Or, is the play dead when the catcher caught the ball after the missed swing? Your thoughts please and, if there is one, the rule covering this situation. Thank you. |
