I hate to disagree with you guys but I do believe you can have interference on this play at home before the ball reaches the catcher please correct me if I am wrong.

A ball that is in flight 20 ft from the catcher and the runner makes contact standing up should be called interference I believe

8-8-Q States "When a defensive player has the ball or is about to CATCH a thrown ball and the runner remains on his feet and crashes into the defensive player".

Effect: The ball is dead and the runner is out.If the act is flagrant then the offender shall be ejected

I've heard on other post using a rule of thumb on this would be if the ball is in flight inside the pitcher's plate which sounds fair to me since you are probably talking about less than .02 seconds here before ball arrives.


Please correct me if I am wrong

Thanks

Don
