Interference on Ball 4

[Mark Land]

Carl:

At first I misread the the original post. I assumed that a checked-swing appeal was coming and that U1 (if a RHB) said he went.

If that were the case, now B/R does noes not havew the right to go to first. Can he interfere with the attempt to throw out R1?

My guess is he would not be guilty if he is still in the box and does nothing to intentionally interfere. Out of the box, he might be guilty if he actually interferes with the throw.
