Missed Base 101

THE LAST TIME BY.

The Major League enforcement criteria for OBR 7.10(d) require that a runner who has missed home plate must be still be tagged for an out while ever he remains in the "immediate vicinity" of the base. However, once the runner leaves that "immediate vicinity", usually interpreted to be the 26 foot cut-out around the plate, the defense is no longer required to chase him for the tag out but may instead appeal the now missed plate whether or not the runner makes a subsequent attempt to return and correct his error.
Kylejt inquired about the dirt "circle" in post #2. I think he may have made the right call.
