The case book says FP because in some SP divisions the ball is dead on a base on balls and the BR is not out for entering the dugout during a dead ball. Same as in FP with a HBP. The ball is dead and the BR is not out for leaving the field of play. That would leave a defensive appeal for failing to touch the base.
