• 2 from the field

If the pitcher is in contact with the rubber when he throws out of play, the award is 2 bases.

If the pitcher is off the rubber (infielder), the award is 2 bases.

Keep this simple saying:

• 1 from the rubber
• 2 from the field

in your head and you will be the smarter fan!

Check your post careful Ozzy.
