OK guys I'm stumped on this one and I can't seem to find the ruling in the OBR manual or any previous threads.
SITUATION: Pitcher catches grounder and ball jams in glove. Is it legal for him to throw the whole glove and ball to first to get the out? I checked back through but can't seem to find any old threads on the subject. |

I've seen it happen twice in MLB. Dave Dravecky with the Giants years ago and Guillermo Mota with the Dodgers a few years back.

Your answer would be found here http://worldumpires.com/news/082103RuleInterp.htm
"The new interpretation goes on to emphasize that a ball stuck in a fielderÂ’s glove is not to be considered out of play; the ball remains live. It is legal for one fielder to throw the glove with a live ball stuck in it to another fielder. A fielder who possesses the ball/glove combination in his own hand or glove can complete a tag of a runner or base, just as if he were holding only the ball." |
But in FED, this play is not permitted. Tossing the ball in te glove is not a legal play.
