Did a JV game at school. Son of an ex-major league pitcher and baseball academy owner was the catcher. Rocket arm and excellent skills. With a runner rounding third, he took a throw from the outfield, the runner never came. The 3rd base coach was yelling he threw his mask right on the baseline. Sure enough, there it was about 10 feet from the plate. It never came up again to see if it was intentional or a coincidence. I would have warned him then. It becomes a safety issue and possible obstruction. In thinking about the player, his father, and the possibilities, he probably did it on purpose. Anything to get an advantage.
