YES! Because it is a FORCE out and not a TAGGED out.
If the runner remains standing on the bag when the 1st baseman touches the bag and the 1st baseman does not tag the runner prior to touching the bag, then the runner is safe and you have no double play. Answer To clarify, once the Batter becomes a batter-runner, the runner at first loses his right to occupy first base and is forced to advance. If he is tagged while standing on the base, he is out. If the first baseman then steps on first base the Batter-runner is also out -- Double Play. BUT, if the first baseman first steps on the base the batter-runner is out and the force is removed. If the runner standing on first base is now tagged he is safe.
lol and yes if you he has the ball making this wacky play the runner is out
yes because he has the ball in his possession when he touches the base so it is like touching the base with his foot.
If the first baseman tags first base, the runner originally on first is therefore not forced to second base and he is safe at first.
There is no free base or "advancing" by rule based on this play. Runner tries to advance at his or her own discretion if they take up.
A putout is the term for getting a batter or runner out. An unassisted put out happens when only one fielder is involved, such as when an outfielder catches a fly ball, or the first baseman grabs a ground ball and touches the bag. An example of an assisted put out would be a ground ball that's fielded by an infielder who throws the ball to the first baseman.
in the game of baseball is the batter turned runner automatically out for going into the dugout thinking the play would be made, but the first baseman was never on the bag when the throw was received?
A baseball 'assist' is given when a fielder 'assists' in the making of an 'out' of an opposing player. For example, a ground ball is hit to the third baseman who throws the ball to the first baseman standing on first base who makes the 'out' by touching first base before the runner who hit the ball does. The first baseman is credited with a 'put out' and the third basemen is credited with an 'assist.'
yes it is a force out
first choice would probably be first base
if he interferes with the runner that would be called obstruction
Yes, as long as he does not interfere with the base runner.
