Questioning Catcher Obstruction. \\
Questioning Catcher Obstruction. USA Softball 8-1-D, #3 and #4
Have you seen #3 occur? #4 – “(Fast Pitch) On a swing or attempted bunt, the catcher or any other fielder prevents the batter from hitting the ball, touches the batter or their bat with a runner on third base trying to score on a squeeze play or a steal” Why is squeeze play in #4 for Fast Pitch only? What about Slow Pitch with stealing? In #4, does “touches the batter” require hindrance/impedance? How do you distinguish between catcher obstruction and batter interference with a play at home plate?
