Are we saying that in the instant that the ball is "airborne" that runners can attempt to advance a base with liability to be put out, and not be called out by the look back rule? ASA ruleset, only, apparently.
Thanx.

By strict wording of the rule, if the ball isnt in either the pitchers hand or glove is it in posession and control? But, is a runner really good enough to time it to leave while the pitcher is flipping the ball back and forth between hand and glove?
