only in little league
When proceeding to first a runner can not retreat towards home nor can they come to a complete stop of forward motion. If they do either of these the the runner is to be called out without need of a tag on the runner or the base. This only applies to a runner between home and first.
Yes, a runner may slide into any base at any time.
no u cannot slide into home because u need to roll a number.
No. That would be an obstruction and the base-runner would be safe.
It is only the "smart" thing to do..
Yes, a runner can be forced out at home plate in baseball if they are the baserunner closest to home and a defensive player with the ball touches home plate before the runner reaches it.
No, in Major League Baseball a base runner can slide into any base in any direction.
There are two situations. (1) If the catcher (or any defensive player) has possession of the ball the runner (Rule 7.08(a)(2) the runner is out if "the runner does not slide or attempt to get around a fielder who has the ball and is waiting to make the tag." In addition, if the umpire judges that the runner was malicious and trying to injure the fielder (including the catcher) the umpire may eject the player. However, if the catcher does NOT have possession of the ball and therefore is not waiting to make the tag, the catcher is guilty of obstruction (Rule 2.00, definition of obstruction). If the umpire makes this judgement, the runner would be awarded the base to the runner. This does not give the runner free license to slam into the catcher. Again, if the umpire judges the runner was malicious, the runner would be awarded the base (including scoring the run) and then the umpire may eject the player. In addition, if the umpire judges that the catcher was malicious and was malicious in their action (causing injury to the runner), the catcher may be ejected. So the bottom line is that the runner and catcher are expected to avoid malicious contact.
not unless the bases are loaded, creating a force at home for the runner on third otherwise the runner must be tagged to be put out
The lead runner is the runner at the base closest to home plate when there is more than one runner on base. If there are runners on second base and third base, the runner on third base is the lead runner. If there are runners on first and second, the runner on second is the lead runner. If there is only one runner on base, there is no lead runner.
Yes, you can slide into any base.
To become a good distance runner you will need to have a good pair of running shoes.
