batter intentionally picks up a live ball
The batter walks on a pitch in the dirt. There are no oither runners on base. The ball deflects off the catcher and goes about 10 feet up the 1st baseline. The batter, while trotting toward 1st, decides to bend over and pick up the loose ball and tosses it back to the pitcher.
Should he be declared out for interfering with a live ball? It was clearly intentional. Yet, the defense was not in the process of making any play. David Emerling Memphis, TN |
