What is the NFHS force play slide rule?
|
The force play slide rule is when a player is forced to vacate his base because the batter has become a runner (a force play). The slide part of the rule says that if the runner slides, he must slide directly into the base or away from the fielder. If he fails to slide legally he is out for interference, and so is the batter-runner.
The runner is never required to slide. The rule only imposes restrictions on how he can slide.
