| What if runner on 3B trying to score by means of a squeeze. cat. steps in front of home and touches the bat? |
|
the catcher was not in possession of the ball when this happened. is the runner allowed to score? is the batter awarded first base? whats the scoring? |
|
As soon as the catcher commits the illegal act of touching the bat, the play is dead and a balk would be called. The runner from third would be given home, and the batter is awarded first base. |
|
The balk would still be subject to the provisions of the balk rule, which would allow the offense to take advantage of any further action, such as a hit. Report It It is called interference on the catcher. I'm not exactly about the run on third .. I think he would have to go back but the batter would get first base on catchers interference It's catcher's interference and a balk on the pitcher, but play continues until no further play is possible, then the ball is declared dead. catcher interferrence. |
