When does the attempted tag occur and the baseline established? Is it at the reaching of the ball toward the runner with the arms? Or when a player is chasing with the ball but 5-6’ away?
Basically runner is going from 3-4 catcher receives the ball with runner 15-20’ away. Catcher comes off the plate toward the runner. Is the baseline established as soon as the catcher heads toward the runner with the ball, or does the catcher have to get close enough to swipe?
