Fake Tags
Little League Greenbook - Been seeing a lot of fake tags in our league, I know in LL a fake tag is defined as obstruction, but if the fake is someone ball faking the runner going back into the bag and there is no overthrow, etc that the fake kept the runner at a base when he could of advanced. Whats the penalty?
Its not good baseball, I know in NFHS from my HS coaching days it was a violation as well, which umps would usually give a warning and that was that and most HS coaches kind of knew the unwritten rules in the game about fake tags, but in LL not so much.
So are there any bases awarded for the fake tag obstruction if runner is simply returning to a base?
