This is a live ball appeal. A player must be the one doing this. Dave

Rule supplement 1 says all appeals, live or dead ball must be made by an infielder. Live ball must be made by the infielder in posession of the ball, and dead ball can be made by any infielder.

And, of course, a live ball appeal includes tagging the player or base in question by the player, does not need to be an infielder.

Think about this one, RKB. If an outfielder ran in and tagged the runner or the base (in the infield), wouldn't that person then be acting as an infielder? Just like playing with 5 infielders, right.

I got it, just tired and reading and typing to fast. Transposing dead ball onto live ball.

ASA RS1.APPEALS.B.LIVE:

In all games an appeal may be during a live ball by any fielder...
