3- lead runer sidestepping a non-involved fielder on a deep base hit
1 - call it. Why would you not?
2 - call it. Why would you not?
3 - call it. Why would you not?

B) Poss pickoff sit, F3 or F4 straddling 1st, which are OBS to call:
1 - 2nd base side of base
2 - over the fair/white side
3 - over the foul/color side
4 - feet anywhere with body over the base
Huh? I don't know ... what did the runner do?
