In a first and third situation the runner on first steals second, running at 75%, catcher immediately throws back to pitcher in circle letting runner take 2nd base. Runner rounds 2nd base passes bag then stops and goes back to the second base bag. Field umpire stops play and calls runner out because pitcher had ball in circle when runner rounded second base stopped then went back to the bag. Is this the correct call?
