Can a runner jump over the catcher or any player trying to put a tag on them. Or do they have to try and stay away from the tag by sidestepping or sliding.
Fed and OBR Ruling.
As others mentioned in OBR Yes although some youth leagues prohibit this.
One other note concerning FED. In FED, a Runner CANNOT DIVE over a fielder whether they are lying on the ground or not. FED rule 8-4-2d.
In FED a runner may jump, hurdle or leap over a fielder as long as the fielder is lying on the ground.
