Had this come up in a USSSA tournament last month. Can the defender use the safety bag at 1st base? In this case it was a dropped 3rd strike and the catcher was throwing the ball from foul territory on the first base side, so if the first baseman doesn't use the safety bag to stretch into foul territory the catcher has to throw across the runners path. I have seen the same thing happen on bad throws in the infield to first base and whether the safety bag can be used to touch first base.
Thanks
