What would you call????

Question

Runner A on First Base 1 out. A batted ball hit back up the middle is deflected by the pitcher towards the second-baseman. As the second baseman is attempting to field the ball in the baseline, he collides with Runner A. What is the call?

Answer 1

Interference. Both runner and batter called out, inning is over.

Answer 2

it is inference on the runner because the fielder was fielding and the runner didnt get out of the way

Answer 3

interference.

Answer 4

The runner has to stay away from the ball, a ball colliding with the runner is interference on the runner but in your case the fielder is interfering with the runners right to the base path.  Defensive interference!

Answer 6

probebly interference im not sure id have to be their to get a better call.

Answer 7

obstruction

Answer 8

Interference, maybe.  It's tough to call when you can't see the play.

OR, the play continues, like previously stated.

Answer 9

Defensive interference/obstruction. The runner is out, the batter is safe on first.

The runner has to allow the fielder field the ball. After he has completed his fielding (i.e. thrown the ball) then he is not allowed to interfere with the runner (the reason AJ was safe last night)

Answer 10

There is no call on the play, let it continue.

Answer 11

Answer 12

Defensive interference. The base runner has a right to his running path and the defensive player can not run into him.

Answer 13

it is interference, runner A is out the batter advances at his own risk

Answer 14
