When can a runner advance after a fly ball has been caught?

Answer 1

The definition of "Catch" in MLB Rule 2.00 includes this comment: "A fielder may reach over a fence, railing, rope or other line of demarcation to make a catch. He may jump on top of a railing, or canvas that may be in foul ground."

It would seem he could climb up a fence, but not over it.

Answer 2

When the Infield Fly Rule is in effect [see Section 2.00 of the rulebook] the ball is alive, and runners may advance at the risk of the ball being caught, or retouch and advance after the ball is touched, the same as on any fly ball.

Answer 3

If he catches the ball, the fielder's position doesn't matter.

Answer 4

Yes. Runners may tag up and attempt to advance on any fly ball, fair or foul.

Answer 5

Yes, but if they are in fair territory and the ball hits them they are out.

Answer 6

no the feilder cant make contact with the runner or ts interference and its a free base

Answer 7

Any fly ball, fair or foul, is a live ball when it is caught therefore any runners may tag up and advance at their own risk.
