My daughter's high school team was playing a team that runs the bases aggressively. After an error in the outfield, the batter makes it to 3rd base. In the video, it appears to me that the ball is in the circle with the batter stopped on 3rd base. The batter then leaves 3rd base on the coach's instruction and heads home while no one is looking. She's called safe at home. When the catcher questions the umpire that the ball was in the circle, blue tells her that the pitcher wasn't in the circle when the batter left the base (clearly that's not the case, but there's no instant replay). The game continues and ends up being a blowout. Since then I've asked other umpires their opinion on the play. One told me that because the catcher was not in her position, the batter is free to steal home. Another told me that the video is too blurry to see what happened. Another told me that the batter should've been called out. So who's right - the coach who told her player to steal home while the ball was in the circle or me who believes the batter should've been called out?
