Running to 1st base aftre a dropped 3rd strike

[bniu]

the only exception would be after a third out strikeout where the player heads to her position directly, my supervisor told me in that case, as soon as someone hands her her glove, she's out.

there was a recent change in MLB to the batter is out on a potential third out D3K if he leaves the home plate circle without heading to first since most baseball players just head straight to their position...i've seen softball players do it too...

That's not recent at all. OBR has had the dirt circle as their rule for a long time.

OBR changed that rule about three years ago- if you consider that as "recent". It was a year or two after the infamous uncaught third strike play in the Angels/White Sox ALCS game.

This may be true in baseball, but as long as the BR did not leave the field of play she could recieve her glove, run to her position, then realize she is not yet out and run to 1B.
