The runner can run 3 feet on either side of the base line. The base line is defined as a straight line from the runner to the base at the time the tag is attempted.7.08Any runner is out when --(a) (1) He runs more than three feet away from his baseline to avoid being tagged unless his action is to avoid interference with a fielder fielding a batted ball. A runner's baseline is established when the tag attempt occurs and is a straight line from the runner to the base he is attempting to reach safely
No, behind third base would be considered out of the base path. When you go out of the base path it is an automatic out.The runner is out by rule for getting "a running start" such as on a tag-up after a caught fly ball. The baseline has nothing to do with this play. A runner is out for going out of the baseline only if avoiding a tag.
Not necessarily. A runner is called out if he intentionally leaves the baseline to avoid being tagged, but if he's simply taking a wide turn around a base that's perfectly legal.
He is out for interfering with a thrown ball while running out of the baseline. The same is true with a runner running to first base. Tom Seaver said that when he saw a runner running to first in fair territory he would throw the ball into his back to get the quick out.
I believe if either one is directly in the baseline, that is indeed interference (the runner is awarded the base). Obstruction can only be called if the runner makes contact with one of the fielders. If he zig-zags around them without drawing contact then he can be called out for going out of the baseline.
It is called called lapping. For example," I lapped the person running in front of me."
if the fielder is a) in the baseline, and b) doesn't have the ball, then no. If the runner goes out of the baseline to strike the fielder, he is out for leaving the baseline. If the fielder has the ball, and as a result of the collision he tags the runner, then runner is out. If the fielder has the ball and is trying to tag the runner, but the collision knocks the ball loose, then the runner is out if the umpire felt the contact was intentional, but it is a loose/live ball if the contact was accidental or otherwise part of the game.
The runner is probably out for interference by running into a fielder, if not, he is out if the throw to first beat the runner and the first baseman, or whom ever is covering first, had his foot on the bag when he received the ball.
This is Interference, but whether the runner is called out depends on what happens. A throw to 1st base where the runner interferes with the play is certainly grounds for them to be called out. Also if the throw to 1st base hits the runner in fair territory, they should be called out for interference. The fielder should throw to 1st base as if the runner were following the rules and running in foul territory. If they choose not to and move to allow the throw to reach 1st base without hitting the runner reaches safely, the umpires are allowed to interpret the rules as though the runner is either out or safe.
A runner can run more than 3 feet outside of the baseline if no play is being made on him.
If he is fielding a batted ball -- then no the runner cant run into him or it will be "Runner Interference" -- if the SS is catching a thrown ball at a base then the runner has the right to "run over" the SS if it is in an attempt to reach the base or continue running to the next base
