Umpires are supposed to check baseballs before they enter the game. They check to make sure it is the correct kind of ball. They also check to see if there are any rips or tears in the leather covering the ball because they balls should not be used.
As long as the coach does not assist the runner, there is no penalty.
No. A runner is out anytime while running to a base if he makes contact with the ball or the glove that the ball is in. On a pop-fly, a player with the ball only needs to touch the base the runner left from if the runner did not tag-up to the bag after the ball was caught.
The 1st base coach can never be out of the coach's box. The 3rd base coach can only be out of his box when the ball is hit and there is a runner on or advancing to 3rd base.
No, once the fielder comes in contact with the batted ball a runner cannot be called for runner interference unless he intentionally goes out of his way (basepath) to make contact with the fielder
there are a lot of variables to this question ... If the out fielder has a cannon for a arm then NO .. If the ball is hit shallow to the out field then NO ... If your on 1st base then NO ... If the fly ball cought is the 2nd out then NO * ... if coach tells you not to the NO ... Now if the runner is on 3rb base then YES... if coach tells you to then YES ... If the ball is hit to the right feilder and your on 2nd base and you have some speed the YES ... *runner not on 3rd ...
As soon as the runner touches home plate, the run scores. The following runner has the right to third base. Either the base coach or the following runner on third base should tell the runner who scored that it was not a foul ball and he should go to the dugout. The ball is still live.
Yes, it is coach's interference if, in the judgment of the umpire, the base coach at 3rd base, or at 1st base, by touching or holding the runner, physically assists him in returning to or leaving first or third base.
If the runner is standing on a base, nothing happens; the ball is live. If the runner is not standing on a base, the ball is declared dead and the runner is out.
The runner would not be called out ... The ball is dead after the play the base runner would just walk back it 3rd base ...
To get a force out when a runner is on 1st base and the ball is hit, you can throw the ball to 2nd base.
No. Runner is part of the field, therefor the ball is in play and the runner is out.
In baseball, a runner can be tagged out while trying to advance to a base if the fielder with the ball touches the runner with the ball or glove before the runner reaches the base. The runner must also be tagged out if they are not on a base when a fielder touches the base with the ball in their possession.
