Since # 2 appears to be the look back rule. I have some questions.
If you call the runner out, is it an immediate dead ball? Common sense tells me yes, because the pitcher could attempt a play after the runner violates the rule.
If a batter walks and a runner is on third, isn't she also required to make an immediate return once the walked batter touches 1st? If both violate, is it two outs?
Is a fake throw considered a play by the pitcher? What about the feet? Does she have to be on the rubber or just in the circle?
What sanctions have this rule?
I call a lot in our local youth fastpitch league (ASA rules). This is one of the most misunderstood rules and those younger runners love to dance off the base.
