In MLB does the baseman need to touch the base to get the runner out?
If it is a force (i.e. there are people on all the bases behind the runner) play, then yes, the baseman needs to touch the base to get the runner out. If the runner is not required to move to that base, then the baseman must tag the runner to get him out. The baseman does not NEED to touch the base to record the out. The defense may tag the runner OR the bag.
What is Putout in baseball?
A putout is the term for getting a batter or runner out. An unassisted put out happens when only one fielder is involved, such as when an outfielder catches a fly ball, or the first baseman grabs a ground ball and touches the bag. An example of an assisted put out would be a ground ball that's fielded by an infielder who throws the ball to the first baseman.
How many errors were committed if there is a runner on 2nd base when the batter bunts to the pitcher but the throw deflects off the 1st base glove allowing the runner to score from 3rd?
The official scorer would have to determine if the throw was catchable. If the throw was, then the error would be on the first baseman and he would be charged as such. If on the other hand the throw was a bad one and the first baseman had to reach and could not catch the ball, then the error is on the pitcher. Only one error would be charged even though the base runner advanced two base and scored.
Man at first ground ball first baseman tags first runner does not advance to second stays on first is this a double play?
If the runner remains standing on the bag when the 1st baseman touches the bag and the 1st baseman does not tag the runner prior to touching the bag, then the runner is safe and you have no double play. Answer To clarify, once the Batter becomes a batter-runner, the runner at first loses his right to occupy first base and is forced to advance. If he is tagged while standing on the base, he is out. If the first baseman then steps on first base the Batter-runner is also out -- Double Play. BUT, if the first baseman first steps on the base the batter-runner is out and the force is removed. If the runner standing on first base is now tagged he is safe.
When there is a runner on first - the batter hits a ground ball to the first baseman who steps on first and then tags the runner who remains on first - Who is out?
If the first baseman tags first base, the runner originally on first is therefore not forced to second base and he is safe at first.
Can you toss your glove with the baseball in it to a first baseman and the runner be out?
lol and yes if you he has the ball making this wacky play the runner is out
When there is a person running to 2nd does the 2nd baseman have to have his foot on the base to get the runner out?
if the runner is stealing no but if there was a ground ball and he is running then yes
Can a second baseman go in the base line of second when runner is coming from first?
if he interferes with the runner that would be called obstruction
If on a fielders choice the 2nd baseman doesn't touch the base can the runner be out?
If the runner gets tagged, then he is out. If the base doesn't get stepped on or the runner gets tagged, then he is safe.
If the first baseman tags a runner instead of the base is it a force out?
yes it is a force out
Is there such a call as runner enterference in baseball?
Yes. Most runner interference calls are made on the runner sliding into the second baseman or shortstop to break up a double play.
Where should the third baseman stand with a runner at third stand to catch a pickoff throw from the catcher?
A few feet behind the runner when they lead off. The shortstop could loop around instead of the third baseman if you want it to be a surprise.
