Does a runner have to slide into a base?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

No, the only time a runner is forced to slide or avoid a play is when he has already been determined and called out on the base paths.

Answer 3

A runner can slide into any base.

Answer 4

No they dont if they dont wont to

Answer 5
