Jim:
I'm in agreement on the caught/uncaught third strike. It has to be ruled on one way or the other. If it's caught, Batter OUT, if uncaught, no verbal OUT until he is tagged or thrown OUT.
The question I had relates to the strikeout (caught or uncaught) where no matter what happens, BR cannot try for 1B due to it being occupied with less than 2 outs.
Ex: 1 out, 2-2 count, Batter whiffs at the pitch and misses, F2 secures it on the bounce, but BR is OUT because 1B is occupied.
Personally, I declare Batter OUT!
Some disagree and stay quiet.
I wanted to know what is being taught at pro schools and at the college level.
Thanks
