Is the play illegal

The answer to your question is, "probably not".

I suggest that you invest in the Case Book. Fed has made it clear what is acceptable and what is not with regards to this play. I don't understand why they do certain things, but it is specifically supported in the Case Book.

This play has been in that book for a number of years. As I intimated earlier, I recalled seeing it some time ago and had to dig through the book to locate it. It hasn't been changed and Fed loves to rectify problem interpretations. This is accepted and legal in High School baseball.
