Wonderful Umpires
Please clarify runners must have clear path to the bases and plate.
Use of the word obstruction?
Example
Play at the plate.
Throw is up 3rd base line a few feet.
Catcher would need to cross foul line to get the throw. But would put the catchers body between runner and plate.
Can the catcher go to the BALL or not?
Example
Coach plays first base behind the base line from 1st to 2nd.
With a runner on 1st.
Runner takes lead off.
1st base comes in from behind the runner to try and get to the back pick throw from catcher
Runner has turned back to base but 1st body is in between them and base,
ball is just arriving.
Explain ball not in glove.
Explain ball in glove.
( would there be a difference?)
Thanks for clarifications!
(How this rule has changed over the years
Is the big factor in trying to illiminate collisions)
