When to make the out call?

[RonTberry]

It would have been a tough call either way.

But hypothetically, what if he doesn't make call and R1 thinks he catches it and comes racing back to 1B. And R1, F3 and B1 all three collide. LOL.

The batter isn't out until the fielder demonstrated he has completed the action of making the catch. Agree with Bob, about the time he gets to his knees and reaches into the glove would be the moment that the batter is out.

Until the play was complete, the batter was not out.

B is out on the catch, R1 out or safe at first, depending on Hu touched first first.
