Is there any place in the game for beaning a batter?

[CoachJD]

I would want a view up or down the foul line to see if the catcher was blocking the plate or if the runners were running at the catcher.
I watched the video, the catchers feet are inside the chalk line, that means there is at least a foot of plate, outside the chalk line, for the base-runners to step on.
A back story that would warrant a catcher bracing for impact would be one where she was trucked in a play at the plate before, one of her teammates was ran in to or spiked or one where this other team is known for running in to fielders

100% of home plate is in fair territory. Why should anybody here take you seriously when you don't even understand the basic layout of a softball field?

Forget all this home plate/fair/foul territory stuff, I want to know how fast @Rick M 's kid throws. Since her change up drops kids like a sack of taters. what does her fastball do to them? Put them in the emergency room?

Not that it makes it any more correct, but there has to be more to it than that (like he was not actually in the designated on deck area) since pretty much every hitter does that (or they should at least)

The pitcher was Cubs first round pick Ben Christensen. His defense was that his coach told him to do it.

So what you're saying is that the catcher was standing on the plate?

There seems to be a pervasive misunderstanding among parents and even coaches that the foul lines are like the red lines in the image here and that the plate somehow “sticks out” and not the reality that the plate is entirely in fair territory and the foul line is represented here in black.

Most parents and probably most coaches and definitely a lot of people on here I bet don’t even know how the bases are measured and what point of the bases that measurement is to.

I remember his name but for some reason don’t remember the incident.

at this point you might as well admit you were kidding all along. At least I hope so

Probably right; but I do. Only because I have to set the bases daily for indoor practices in the "Big" Gym and outdoor practices on the turf football field for my HS team I coach in our TB off-season.

I’m a HS AD and I laughed when I read “big” gym. I think every school has a “big” gym.

I didn’t mean what I said as an insult. If you haven’t laid out a field it’s not necessarily intuitive to measure 1st and third to the back corner of the base and second to the post of the base. Seems odd when you think about it.

it does, and it means that the distance between NONE of the bases is 60 feet.
