RE: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
Rule 3.1.2 A player may be removed as pitcher and return as pitcher only once per inning, provided the return pitcher does not violate either the pitching, substitution or charged conference rule.
None of these were violated by your description.

RE: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
i would put the runner back on third and warn the coach. Dont really know about a rule for that one but it would only make sense!

This does not tell me how the runner scored. Did the team make a play and throw the ball away. I need more info.

Re: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
I have two questions about Balks or No Balks. 1) Runner on Second. Pitcher comes set, then makes a spin move to Second. Runner breaks to third. Pitcher throws directly to third. Can the pitcher throw to that previously unoccupied base? 2) Similar to first question. Runners on first and third. Pitcher does the famous fake to third, then first move. Runner on first breaks. Pitcher throws directly to second which was unoccupied. Legal? |

Re: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
Sure, once a pitcher makes the spin move to second, since the rules don't require him to make the throw, he can throw directly to third after the spin move.
One the second question, it's the same thing- once the pitcher fakes to third he doesn't have to throw anywhere and since the runner is breaking to second, he can throw directly to second- In both cases it was a previously unoccupied base.

Once he does that, he's just another infielder. "See what you call and call what you see"

RE: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
Has anyone ever seen a right handed pitcher set up in the stretch as a lefthanded pitcher, come set, and step off quickly with the pivot foot and snap throw to second to pick off a runner on second base?
Would this be legal and if not, what does the rule state that would make it to not be legal?

RE: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
That is a balk because he has to put his pivot foot on the rubber. A right handers pivot foot is his right foot and I can only assume you mean he was putting his left foot on the rubber. If I'm incorrect in my assumption please give me more details.

Re: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
This question concerns the advancing of a runner (or runners) when a ball is thrown into the dugout or onto the concrete surface in front of the dugout wall/rail. This happened during one game where the umpires only allowed the runner(s) to advance to the base they were advancing to. During another game, the umpires (different umpires) allowed them the base that they were advancing to plus the next base. What's the correct call?

RE: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
It depends on the throw. Was it the first throw from the infielder? Was it a relay or second throw? Was it a pitch that ricochet from the catcher?

RE: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
In both instances, it was the first throw from an infielder to first base.

2 bases time of the pitch because it was the first throw from an infielder.

RE: Rules and Interpretations: Question and answers
Batter is in the box waiting on the pitch. Pitcher takes a really long time in the set position studying the runner at second. Batter calls time. Ump takes one step straight back, says time. Batter steps out, pitcher delivers pitch, ump rings him up. When approached by the coach about the "time out" the ump replies," I didn't say time, I said no Time." Coach replies, "if you weren't granting him time, why did you say anything?" Anybody ever experienced anything like that?
