Deliberate
So that's why I hear stories of parents fighting in the stands! I think I would have lost my cool with everyone involved including the umpire, player, and coaches. The part that upsets me the most is the catcher would actually do this at that age.
right?! Both of my kids caught at one point and while I would tell them that on throw downs you just pretend like there is no batter, you clear and throw to third, if she gets hit, she gets hit, but you can't let her block you out once you have cleared a lane behind the box. I must have said this 50 times, not once did they listen, if the batter stepped out and blocked them they either made another clearing step to throw or didn't throw at all. 10 year olds don't do this unless they are coached to do this.
