And give us one less think to obsess over? No way.
Seriously, a ball hardly ever rebounds directly off the catcher's mask and is then caught. I've never seen it.
Consider that the folks that sometimes edit the OBR have just this year gotten around to better defining the path a runner may take between bases. (For years, OBR has said the runner has to follow a direct line between bases, and this phrasing of the rule meant that nearly every base runner was violating the rule as written.) Let's hope they give priority to improving the rules that are in use frequently.
