I'm sure I read somewhere that on a play at the plate the general rule of thumb is that if the ball is in flight over the cutout then a play is imminent. The cutout is about 13 feet in diameter. 60 feet away is not close enough.
I suppose you could use this same rule of thumb at 2B, or any other base, if working with a rule set that does not require the fielder to have the ball to block the base.
There are no state modified Legion rules I am aware of in my state. I'm not sure I understand why any state would modify the national rules for play at that level.
