base runner

[rails42]

If a runner intentionally interfers with a throw is that interference and a dead ball or is the runner out and the ball is live.Rule 8-4-2g does not explain
the penalty for it

rails,

If a runner intentionally interferes with a thrown ball, that is interference and a dead ball (immediate). See 5-1-1e.

Rule 5 is one of the most important - and oft-overlooked - rules in the FED rulebook.

Rails,

The Dead Ball and delayed dead ball table in Rule 5 is a real handy tool to remember because, it ties in the penalties to just about every rule in the book. That and the awards table in 8 are very handy.

Good luck

This may be stating the obvious but...if the runner interferes it doesn't matter if it was intentional or not - the penalty applies, right? Batter interference usually involves a delayed dead ball.

At any of my clinics I preach to use the Casebook. It contains examples of what you look for and some pretty crazy plays that caused rule changes or points of emphasis. Check them out and I bet you'll find what you need.

Have a great season!

Interference with a thrown ball must be intentional.

Thank all of you for your answers

Agree, however on a force play slide, a runner more than half way to second that gets hit with a throw, commits unintentional interference.
