We have this situation:
R3 runs towards home but he misses homeplate. He tries immediately to return to home and he moves towards home but the catcher tries to tag him out the the runner goes backwards 4ft from home to avoid the tag, is it legal? How is the basepath when the runner overrun homebase but he tries to come back again? I was just wondering how far in the vicinity of the plate must the runner go before he would be called out for being out of the baseline? I know more leeway is given around the plate but how much?
