That's one speedy catcher...

Had the ball gotten by the first baseman, untouched, and then hit the base runner with the second baseman in position to make a play, we would then have interference."

Looks like the deflection was the key, so despite what the FED books say about another fielder having a chance to make a play, this situation is NOT considered interference by the runner.

JJ
The books don't say anything of the sort with regards to a touched ball. The case play I cited above is nearly verbatim with the OP and states that it is not interference.

He said it's not INT. You said it's not INT. I'm not clear what you're disagreeing with.

His last sentence, claiming that the books say something about another fielder having a play.

I also think it's somewhat a waste of time to contact NFHS when this play is in the case book.

The last sentence had to do with an UNTOUCHED ball though.

You know I meant F4!

You really don't want to start nit-picking posts, do you?:D

No, it didn't. Read the whole post. He is talking only about touched balls. (snickers)<SNICKER>

If you're talking about JJ's post, it says untouched, and I didn't see an edit.

So we are talking about untouched balls here:)

No, we are not, Ray Charles. Look at where it says "Had the ball...untouched" and "the deflection is the key."

His comments are only about deflected balls.

Ray Charles is God:

1. God is love.
2. Love is blind.
3. Ray Charles was blind.
Therefore, Ray Charles was God.

Q.E.D.

Exactly...HAD. The use of that word tells you that sentence is in contrast to what the rest of the post, which was balls that were touched.
