Fed rule
Can't find anything in rule book.
Bases loaded, no outs, all 3 runners are off their bases before pitch released. How many outs could you get? If possible, mention rule #. |
One.
You can only get one out when multiple runners leave early. 8-7-18 |
I see something under 8-6-18. But it doesn't say anything about only penalizing one runner?
|
The effect of 8-6-18 is that the ball is dead. One runner must have left before the other therefore only one is out. It's your job to decide which.
|
Thank you for your response, that's what I wanted to know!
|
The only organization I know where multiple runners may be ruled out for leaving their bases early is NCAA. That's because unlike any other sanction, an LBE violation is a delayed dead ball at the college level.
For those where there's an immediate dead ball ruling, in theory someone left first. The umpires then have to judge which one left first should more than one runner be in violation. |

I believe the above to be true, but I no longer have an NCAA Rules Book to verify it and provide Rules references. |

Like Manny, I don't know of another organization that treats leaving early as a delayed dead ball or allows more than one runner to be called out. If you know of one, please let the board know. In the NCAA case book: A.R. 12-38. |
