Can a batter run backward in order to not get tagged out on the way to first base?
Updated: 9/27/2023
No! The runner may stop, but not retreat to home plate. There is no possible way to be safe at home, so this would be considered abandoning the base path. It is possible between all other bases, but not in this situation. 1-3 are bases one can occupy, home is a plate which cannot be occupied.
