FED - Safe and ejected (Malicious Contact)
NCAA - Safe and ejected (FPSR)
OBR (youth leagues) - Safe and ejected (unsportsmanlike conduct)
OBR MLB - Safe (He's going to get one in his ear at the next at bat)
It is my opinion (and in a game, that is all that counts) that the runner had every intention of taking out F1 at the plate. Contact is not necessary, it is how the runner presents his intentions. Had the runner not jumped into the air, there would be no problem in all codes.
