Rich, can you provide a reference in NFHS for the "step and a reach" criteria?
I have 8-4-2g ...A fielder is not protected, except from intentional contact if he misplays the ball and has to
move from his original location...1...If a fielder drops a batted ball and contact with a runner occurs during a subsequent attempt to field the ball, the fielder has the greater responsibility for avoiding contact.
