Hello,

I hope I dont bother you too much with questions - Last night in our scrimmage ( not game )16U ASA Fastpitch, I counted three times that the catcher received the pitch and threw to 3rd base. Each time while the batter was trying to back out of the box the catcher was brushing against them, not running into the per se, just brushing against. I wasn't sure if the batter wasn't getting out of the box quickly enough or what she could have done to not interfere in this situation. If a game were being played what would the call or what is the batters obligation in this situation ?


Thank you
Catcher needs to be taught to work around the batter. In turn, batters need to be taught to NOT move and stay within the box.
