I still have it in my head that a running lane violation only occurs on throws that originate from right in front of HP and/or along the 1B line, (i.e. bunt, D3K, etc.)
If BR gets hit from an errant throw by F6, and BR happens to be out of the running lane, I don't think we have a violation.  |
You won't find "a reference to the running lane and the origin of the throw" because there isn't one. It only exists in the image of most frequent application.
No matter where the throw is from, the BR just getting hit means nothing unless the BR interferes
with the fielder taking the throw at first base.
