Last years fed quiz from NASO
 

20. B9 hits a grounder to F6. F6’s throw to F3 bounces and ends up trapped against F3’s body by his arm. F3, who is standing on first base, holds
the ball securely in that manner while B9 touches first base. After B9 has
crossed the bag, F3 pulls the ball out and shows it to the umpire. F3 never
juggled or bobbled the ball.
a. B9 is out.
b. B9 is safe.
Answer for FED is a. and for NCAA and Pro is b.
Yet from Last years Case book
2.9.1 SITUATION B: B1 hits a ground ball to F6 who throws to first. F3 juggles
the ball so that it rolls up his arm and is clamped to his body by an elbow or forearm when B1 touches first. RULING: B1 is safe. It is not a catch until the ball is secured by the bare hand or glove hand.
Am I missing something?

Go with the case book and not the NASO answer as presented.

The hand or glove. Definition of a catch.

That answer is B...does FED call a "Catch" the same as a gloved ball?

I think there's a case play in the FED case book with that play word-for-word

And I think it's quoted in the first post . . . .

My favorite was /is #7

A batted ball is foul when it strikes a rock positioned halfway between the pitching plate and second base and rebounds into foul ground between home and third.

Although the ball didn't pass the bag, it is a fair ball in NFHS.

Are you saying that the answer is wrong? Or are you saying it was your favorite because it's tricky? Because the ball did "pass the bag"

Different in NCAA and FED

Then what are we debating?

Very legit question. 2-5-1.b clearly states that it is a Fair Ball if it "contracts fair ground on or beyond an imaginary line between first and third base" Passing a base has nothing to do with the question.

Give the men a bone. It's code specific to NFHS. If you hadn't read the definitions, you would never know where to find it. Got myself more than one cold one off this last year.

Wow. Even the first year rookies should know this one.

I agree, but I have found that generally, those that don't read Chapter 2, probably haven't read much of 1 or 3 and even 4-10 either.

You would think Bob, however last year my board gave out this answer at the beginning of the test telling everyone it was wrong. Afterward, I had a brief discussion with our "training officer", he was amazed that I actually found/read that. He nor any other board member were aware of the it.

I'll admit to not reading much of 10 myself. 1 thru 9 however I will read and highlight every year. I try to make it part of my pre-game habit to read a chapter before every game still.
