"ART. 2 . . . Any runner is out when he:
2. When a play is being made on a runner or batter-runner, he establishes
his baseline as directly between his position and the base toward
which he is moving.
b. does not legally slide and causes illegal contact and/or illegally alters the
actions of a fielder in the immediate act of making a play, or on a force play,
does not slide in a direct line between the bases; or
1. A runner may slide in a direction away from the fielder to avoid making
contact or altering the play of the fielder.
2. Runners are never required to slide, but if a runner elects to slide, the
slide must be legal. (2-32-1, 2) Jumping, hurdling, and leaping are all
legal attempts to avoid a fielder as long as the fielder is lying on the
ground. Diving over a fielder is illegal."
