Thrown ball INT ??
I know we have discussed this before, but a new example, just to clarify.
Bases loaded, batted (bunted ?) ball along 1st base line, fielded by F3 in front of 1st; who throws home for the force. BUT, the throw hits the BR, deflecting the ball. 1 – Is it INT? 2 – If it is, why not INT whenever a throw hits a runner? Primarily an ASA question; please add what you want about NCAA, NFHS or other differences.

Is it just that any INT has to be an "act"?

Obviously the running lane is irrelevant, please leave it out of comments.

Just as you wouldn't call a runner from first to second for interference on a throw (from F3) that hits her in the back. Interfering with a thrown ball and being hit by a thrown ball are different. For reference, I was part of a similar play this summer (not a bunt, hit to F3 in front of the bag), generating a lot of discussion in the umpire locker room. |

This isn't kickball. You can't plunk the runner to get an out.

And as for my comment about the running lane, I only mentioned it because discussions about throws between home and 1st or 1st and home always seems to bring up some discussion about the running lane. |

Couldn't convince me of that considering the plays I've seen in NCAA the past couple of years.

No, his play is NOT interference in any code. |
