FPSR Question
Just wanted a clarification on something.
R1 going into second base on a 5 or 6-4-3 DP attempt. F4 sets up inside the bases to recieve the throw for out at second
If the runner slides away from the fielder but outside a direct line between the bases (Shaded "U" area in NCAA book) towards the outfield side he's fine.
Now, what if because the fielder has set up on the inside, runner slides outside to avoid contact, but either the throw is high/wide and carries the fielder to the outside or F4 takes a bad pivot and ends up on outfield side and there is contact.
Is this a FPSR violation?
The runner had commited to doing something that he's legaly allowed to do (slide away from the fielder to avoid contact) but a defensive "mess up" caused the fielder to venture into the slide path.
