Attempted steal of HP.
The following play was posted on a FB group that Mark, Jr., and I follow.
Play: Bases loaded. Two outs. A count of one ball and two strikes on the Batter. R3 goes on the pitch and as he approaches HP he dives into a head first slide. The Ball enters the Strike Zone and then: a) the Ball hits R3 before R3 touches HP; b) the Ball hits R3 at the same time that R3 touches HP; and c) the Ball hits R3 after he has touched HP.
Mark, Jr., and I have discussed this play and in a, b, and c, we have an uncaught third strike.
We would like to hear opinions per NFHS, NCAA, and MLB/MiLB/OBR.
MTD, Sr.
