If an offense player picks up the ball in the field of play after an overthrow do the runners advance?
One Answer:If the ball is dead, the act of the offensive player picking up the ball in the field of play will have no impact on the play. If the ball is live, it will probably be called interference and the umpires will determine who is out and which bases the runners will go to.But it's impossible to say for sure without knowing the details of the play.Another Answer:If an offense player picks up the ball in the field of play after an overthrow, it is a live ball and the players advance at their own risk. There is no indication in your question of interference or any occurrence that would make it a dead ball (i. e., fan interference, ball thrown into the dugout and back onto the field or play, etc.).
