Didn't come into play, but...

I see what you're saying here, but I want to explore it a bit.

Let's say that R3 has been returning to third normally after every pitch. Then on a pick off attempt, upon seeing F5 raise his glove, R3 throws his hands above his head and the throw contacts his hands.

I think the consensus here is that this is interference. Do you agree?

If so, can I really make this a legal action by doing it all the time?

On the other hand, if R3 is always doing this, F2 has fair warning not to try throwing directly over R3's head.
