I'm certain to get plenty of flak about this play from yesterday's select 18u tournament game:
R1 only, stealing. He beats the throw easily as the ball hits the dirt well in front of the base. But I can't find it. The runner stands up, then flips the ball to the second baseman, who throws it to the pitcher.
"Did you catch the ball?" I ask the runner. Says the fielder: "No, he just picked it up and handed it to me." Said I to the runner: "Son, don't do that." Said he: "Oh, I wouldn't do that in a real game, Carl."

I pointed to the plate umpire. He pointed to the pitcher and said "Play." Of course, the ball was still alive as far as I was concerned.

The defensive coach yelled: "I wish he was on my team!"

I'd be interested in your comments as long as they are not profane.
Interesting that an u18 tournament game is not a "real game". I fail to see any issues here.
The player presumes that "real" baseball is interscholastic competition in the spring or American Legion in the summer.

A runner in foul territory in the Pioneer League picked up a foul ball that had stopped rolling and threw it back to the pitcher. The defensive coach protested when the umpire did not call out the runner. The president of the league upheld the protest.

Perhaps that is the issue.
