I still disagree, although like other things with wrong interpretations, I have to call what the food chain says.
My disagreement is that the player is still a BR because of never "legally reaching" first base and therefore can not be reclassified as a runner who has.
What I would call is another matter, but other than ASA, if the fielder or DC presented this arguement, I would have to agree.
