watched a game where when the ball went into play as the play would wind down the 2nd baseman would run to the circle to implement the look back rule. the pitcher did not have the ball but was in the circle. runner on 2nd was off base and started to 3rd and stopped and watched ...before the 2nd baseman handed the ball to the pitcher, blue called runner on 2nd out for look back rule violation.
so my question is, does it have to be the pitcher that has control of the ball in the circle for the look back rule to be in effect? I have looked in usa rulebook to see if I could find anything, and the only thing I can find only talks about the pitcher having control of the ball in the circle.
I have my opinions on it but want to seek the wisdom of this forum.
thank you
