I realize that my last post did not refer
to a batted ball, but to a swing and miss. In the case of a batted ball, the interference still has to be intentional per 7.09(h): If, in the judgment of the umpire, a batter- runner willfully and deliberately interferes with a batted ball or a FIELDER in the act of fielding a batted ball, with the obvious intent to break up a double play, the ball is dead: the umpire shall call the BR out for the interference, and also the runner closest to home plate. The play described by David did not sound intentional to me. A warning and/or ejection may be in order (sort of like if a batter dangerously throws his bat after hitting the ball) but probably not the interference call. |
