What are the consequences of offensive interference in baseball and how is it determined by the umpires during a game?

Answer 1

Offensive interference in Baseball occurs when a player on the offensive team hinders a defensive player's ability to make a play. The consequences can include the batter being called out, runners being sent back to their original bases, or the play being ruled dead. Umpires determine offensive interference based on whether the interference was intentional, whether it affected the outcome of the play, and whether the defensive player could have made the play without interference.
