First, this is a good question.
F2 catches a flyball in foul territory. He catches the ball on the field of play and carries it into DBT (dead ball territory).
This is the "catch and carry" rule. The ball is dead as soon as it enters DBT and all runners are advanced one base.
Quote:
"A player is not permitted to step or go into a dugout to make a catch.
A player is permitted to reach into a dugout to make a catch. If a
player makes a catch outside the dugout and the player's momentum
carries him into the dugout, then the catch is allowed and the ball
remains alive as long as the player does not fall while in the dugout"

The ruling quoted above is correct, however every field I have ever worked and every major league park has a ground rule stating that the dugouts are now in dead ball territory and that "over rules" the quote above.

PS Spizzico I corrected the grammatical forming of your original post moving the word "is" to where it belonged. Also the word is "thanks" not "tanks". Not trying to be mean just trying to be helpful with the English language. |
