missed home plate
Runner slides home but does not touch home plate.
What are umpires proper mechanic? Can the defense make a life ball appeal and just touch home plate? Or must the defensive player tag the runner? |

Similar to your post about runner missing 1B.
Proper mechanic for the umpire is to delay a beat then signal safe. A runner passing a base is assumed to have touched the base until properly appealed.
