B int?

[Andy]

If B2 is standing still in the batter's box, I've got nothing.

Once she starts moving around in there, however, she is at risk of committing interference.

"I was trying to get out of the way" is not good enough to avoid an interference call.

At the 12U I have nothing, with the OP. I did have the same play @ a higher level when F2 threw the ball right into the Batter attempting to throw to F5, now I have Batter INT.

why does the age group and/or level come into play. this is interference, as described and as andy pointed out. i gave up on capital letters for at least today.

What was the batter doing to earn the int call? Just curious.

The batter has the right to remain in the batter's box to attempt to hit the ball and any movement associated with that action. Once the batter starts doing something else, the "protection" of being in the box goes away.

As described, this batter was moving to try to get out of the way of the catcher trying to retrieve the ball and make a play on an advancing runner. Unless the umpire determines that the catcher intentionally threw the ball at the batter, the batter's actions of moving out of the way can be considered an act of interference.

The reason I asked was that xtremeump stated that the "catcher threw the ball right into the batter".... leading me to wonder about the details.... as always HTBT...

"Had To Be There"

My apologies if I've offended you...just trying to see what you had on the play. The Interference call always stirs a lot of interest.

This is what I envisioned from reading the description. I didn't reply because someone else already did - looking for clarification. Wondering how, if Batter is trying to avoid the catcher who is suddenly trying to grab a ball at his feet, the batter ended up getting hit with the throw. Did he simply bail from the area, but straight down the 3BL? I could see INT here. What exactly did he do to warrant interference.

The OP I have nothing, Pitched ball on ground with R1 on 2B @ the B1's feet, F2 picks up the ball and knows that she can not throw out R1 throws the ball anyway to F5 and hits the B1 with the throw to F5. Is that CLEAR NOW. I do not speak as well as you perfect people. I have Batter Interference. You tell me what you have. Or maybe I will have to more clearly explain my attempt to get involved.
