When does the possession of the ball in the circle begin regarding the LBR? F1 catches a line drive while in the circle, R1 with a short lead sees that nobody on the defense is looking at her so she tags up and runs safely to 2B as she might on any caught ball.

I (just a dad) thought she would be called out due to LBR but she was not; is the LBR not in effect immediately when F1 caught the ball in the circle?

Thanks for putting up with my question. I have been reading the forum for the last hour or two and have really learned a lot.
