Thanks for all the good answers.
I suspected that this was the correct answer but wasn't certain.
This has spawned a new question, however:
What would constitute the pitcher making a play on BR?
1. The pitcher moves toward the advancing BR, yet remains within the circle. She doesn't make any throw or fakes.
2. The pitcher turns toward the advancing BR, raises her arm with the ball in hand as if to make a throw, but makes no throw nor fake.
Thanks!
