Base Running Question

[btdt]

Around here they call it "Cut Three". In certain sitch when umpires are likly not to looking toward third, the runner cuts inside by several feet and arrives at home a bit sooner.

Don't see it in high school around here often as most coaches won't teach that. But if you keep eyes open in summer ball, some coaches believe it is only cheating if you get caught.

Even if the umpire does detect the "cut" he can't do anything until there is an appeal, unless you feel ok making up your own rules.
