In professional Baseball, yes. In some high school and college rules, no. Local/state high school associations make some special rules that are different than those used in professional baseball.

∙ 15y agoYES the catcher is SUPPOSED to block the plate as long as he has the ball. if the batter swings and hits the catcher the runner would return to third and the batter awarded first base. If the bases were loaded the catchers interference would force the runner home.

∙ 9y agoYes. As a matter of fact, a base runner can also jump over another player. As long as the runner stays within the 3 foot width of the base path, he can jump, roll, slide, step backwards, etc.

Yes.
Absolutely, the runner should be allowed to jump over ANY fielder if he so desires. As long as he is still on the base path and touches the plate without being tagged, he is safe. As a matter of fact, on the MLB Network the top play wasn't even a professional player.. I believe it was a school game that the runner jumped over the catcher, flipped, and touched the base without being tagged. The umpire knew the rules and called him safe.
yes but you can not maul over the catcher In the 1979 Little League World Series in Williamsport, PA., a player jumped over the catcher. Grosse Pointe Woods-Shores, MI was playing Campbell, CA. in a semi-final game. Grosse Pointe centerfielder Mike Walkowiak scampered home as the throw came in. The throw beat Walkowiak and the Campbell catcher crouched low to make the inevitable out. Just then, Walkowiak hurdled high over the catcher and both feet landed on home plate without even coming close to the catcher. It was the go ahead run at the time, putting Grosse Pointe up 5-4. Mike's ingenuity wasn't enough, however, as Campbell went on to win the game 8-5.
There is no rule allowing or disallowing the act, therefore it is legal. As a matter of fact, jumping over the catcher might be in compliance with rules requiring runners to avoid contact with a defensive player. *Some leagues have "Must Slide" rules at home to eliminate colisions, so be familiar with your local leagues
yes
With the runner you jump on the platform to the right then jump up which will take you above that platform. you then jump to the side of the platform to your right. It is a little difficult to do. you then jump forward and get the bonus you left jump landing on the side of the other platform and go straight.
There are many attributes that make a good marathon runner including long legs. These athletes also have to have mental toughness.
