My question is, working a lot of AABC games, which uses OBR, is the trick play still legal?

OBR 7.08 (a) (1) says, any runner is out when “he runs more than three feet away from a direct line between bases to avoid being tagged…”

But, under OBR, if the runner is played on, I’m leaning toward the out.


The play is legal under all codes. It's probably only effective for players who are at an age where they can run better than they can throw and catch.

The line you cited from OBR is one of the 456 "known erors."
