I didnt find anything procedural about how to handle this sit. Is the batted ball still live/dead, if not hit, is it a ball/strike/no pitch?
on an unrelated note, Ive never seen 16" played, but are runners allowed to leave the base basically whenever they want? (ie doesnt ball is put in play happen when the pitcher still has the ball on the mound?)
