I need help from our umps on here, if a line drive is caught & the glove falls off & the ball stays in the glove, is the batter out????
ASA rule 8-5F, When a fielder intentionally contacts or catches a fair batted, a thrown, or a pitched ball with any part of the uniform or equipment that is detached from the proper place .
Key word here is intentionally. The fielder did not intentionally remove the glove to catch the ball. Trying to find the case study book to see if it has any information in it.
