Dead ball.


2.9.4 SITUATION: B1 hits a fly ball toward the left field fence. F7 places a foot on the temporary fence while making the catch. RULING: Legal. As long as the fence is not completely horizontal, a legal catch can be made.


Case Book.


5.1.1 SITUATION J: On a foul fly ball near dead-ball territory, F7 (a) makes the catch with one foot on the line separating dead-ball territory and the other foot in dead-ball territory, (b) makes the catch with one foot completely in dead-ball territory and then steps with both feet into dead-ball territory, or (c) makes the catch with both feet completely in dead-ball territory. RULING: No catch in all situations. The ball is dead. (5-1-1i; 8-4-3i

I missed the question and had a catch. The foot is on a horizontal surface and not touching live ball territory so it is in dead ball territory.

Thanks, found it! 2-8-9d does adds to the confusion.

Regarding the question with a foot on the cement step, this one comes directly out of the 2011 case book, page 38.

Answer: F3 is out of play and no catch is declared.

May I suggest that even if multiple Q in a topic, each has a separate post, so responses are easier to follow.
