I've never actually seen this situation come up, I just thought it up a few days ago.
So my FED rule book says 2 bases are given from the time of the pitch, if a infielder throws the ball out of play, on the first throw by an infielder.
It also says that a throw by an outfielder which goes out of play is two bases from the time of the throw.
Here is the situation. Center fielder shifts in and becomes a fifth infielder. R1 is stealing second on the pitch, ball is hit to center fielder, who is playing where the shortstop would normaly stand. F8 looks at second but sees R1 is already sliding into second. R1 touches second before F8 throws to F3. Ball is high over first and goes out of play.
Does R1 get bases from the time of pitch or throw?
