Of course, but there is the provision that the pitcher making or faking a play negates that purpose of calling the runner out, with the "pitcher possession/control".
My
original question in the hypothetical OP is whether the pitcher looking at the runner is a "play" or whether there has to be some arm or other body movement. The "
But pitcher picks up ball and looks toward 2nd." sentence in the prior topic is what triggered my post.
