Here is a play that has happened twice during this past HS season. The picture of this play shows the catcher straddling the third-base line in a position to receive the ball. The runner from third is running down the third-base line within two steps of catcher and is actually beginning to go...- echung12

Interference Rule on Slide into Catcher
Know the school and the situation. I witnessed what would be a routine pop fly in the infield behind the SS get blown by the wind over the short left-field fence. Their players know how to play the wind. On another play, a pop foul that should have gone over the fence behind the first base...- echung12

Interference Rule on Slide into Catcher
I probably should have stated this in my original post. I was at this game and I am the father of the pitcher in the video. Thank you AS95SY for your comments on the 1B and her leadership. The 1B came in to replace the catcher. She actually was injured on a similar play where the runner from...- echung12

Interference Rule on Slide into Catcher
To me almost anytime there a play in front of the plate, where we instruct the catcher to set up in order to allow the runner a path to the plate, interference at a minimum is the call. For this catcher, the actual position of feet and the location in front of the plate needs to be emphasized...- echung12

Thanks for the comment. Not looking to get three outs. Just getting confirmation there should have been two outs on the play and whether the play was flagrant enough for an ejection. Below is a link to a video clip of the play. Catcher being taken out by sliding runner from third- echung12

Interference Rule on Slide into Catcher
The situation is bases loaded and the batter hits a ground ball to the pitcher who throws home to the catcher who is in front of the home plate. The runner on third base starts towards home outside the 3rd baseline. As the runner runs towards home, she crosses the 3rd baseline into fair...- echung12

Wanting to play travel ball instead of high school season
In CA, California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has waived the restriction and student-athletes can play with both HS and travel (club) teams during the same season. So here, this is no longer an issue unless there is a scheduling conflict on a Friday. Typically, CA high schools don't play on...- echung12
