Ball thrown to 1st base after BB/Walk ????

[snailpace]

Hi all Noob here,



Batter is walked and I have the catcher throw the ball to 1st base after every walk is there a ruling which stipulates this as an illegal proceeding?

The batter reached 1st and then left the bag while knowing 1st has the ball in his glove.---- It is not a trick play just good warmup throw for my catcher for the steal throw---- which sometimes in games the runner forgets and gets tagged. Blue ruled no call and illegal throw.

Blue told me that it was an illegal throw that the ball is to go back to he pitcher before any other base in a walk. I did this in h.s. ball and it was legal then. This is a juniors ll team. I cannot find a ruling in the rule book on this.
