Attempted steal of HP.

Nevermind everybody. I was in the online rules book and click on case plays and low and behold is our play: NFHS Casebook Play 8.3.1 Situation 3(a), 😛. All three codes have the same ruling. Batter out, no run scores, and the inning is over.

Rich:

To be honest I really didn't follow the thread because of other things going on in my life except that I do know that the poster wanted a OBR ruling and that one person gave the same ruling you did but did not give a rules citation. When Mark, Jr., and I discussed it last night, it had been two days since I had originally read the play and had not gone back to check up on it. And since we umpire NFHS we were interested in a NFHS ruling.

Off topic. Leave Facebook. Ok not all Facebook. Just dont participate in umpire discussions on Facebook.

I guess I'm still trying to work out how a runner can be "off with the pitch" yet beat the ball to the plate. Sign that guy up! He's faster than lightning.

It means you break with first movement or sometimes even before. That's how you steal home. Entirely possible if you get a slow reaction from the pitcher.

Absolutely and seeing as how most youth pitchers go into the wind up rather than stay in the stretch with bases loaded, it takes longer for the ball to be released so the runner has a jump on the pitcher if he goes on 1st movement.

Heck, Coach Paul, I'm still trying to work out how a pitch that is already in the strike zone can hit a runner who is making a head-first slide before said runner touches the plate?

So less than 2 strikes is a "strike call" and runner out?

Fed: No. You call the pitch and the ball is dead. Each runner except the batter is awarded one base. 8-3-1a.

(edited to remove completely incorrect response)

The pitch is either a strike or a ball. The runner from third is awarded home and all other runners advance one base. The batter remains at the plate with a ball or strike added to the count.

Yes, if the pitch is in the zone. No, if the pitch is not in the zone.

Bob, how is the runner out?

He's not. I apparently mis-read the question. I'll edit my response.
