Page 17: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Fair – Foul Balls • In the infield, a ball is fair or foul the moment it stops

moving or is touched• If a ball leaves the infield on the ground, it is judged

fair or foul by its position when it leaves the infield• A ball hit directly to the outfield is fair or foul the

moment it touches anything• Foul Tip (bat)

• Still looks like a pitch• Sharp and direct from the bat to the catcher’s hand or

glove 1st, then caught by the catcher• Ball is “live”, runners may advance

Page 18: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Force Play• Runner must go to next base because Batter

has become a runner and must go to 1st

Page 19: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Force Play• Runner must go to next base because Batter

has become a runner and must go to 1st

• Can touch the base with any part of the body• Can also “tag” the runner with the ball in hand

or glove• No runs if 3rd out is a force

• Tag Play• Must touch runner with the ball in hand or

glove when runner is off the base

• Touching bases in order (1-2-3-home)• missed bases (appeals)

• Can be a force out, runs????• runners passing other runners

• Signal interference, see what happens, runner who passed is out and all other runners return to TOP base unless forced

• Runner leaves to early or fails to retouch after a fly ball caught• Not a running start• Can not retouch if touches the next base and the ball

becomes dead• Appeal must be obvious• is a time play, not a force• Runs may score ahead of the appealed runner

Page 36: British Columbia Umpire's Association

Four types: 1. Offensive

• runner being hit by a fair batted ball• batter interference• runner breaking up a double play

2. Defensive • catcher’s interference

3. Umpire • being hit by fair batted ball• getting in way of catcher’s throw

4. Spectator• Spectator Land vs. Player Land

Page 37: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Offensive• Runner hit by fair batted ball before infielder

has a chance to play it• Signal interference• call time• runner is out• all other runners return unless forced due to

B-R going to first• If interference was to break up double play,

call B-R out too

Page 38: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Offensive• Double play ball, R1 intentionally tries to break

up the double play at second

Page 39: British Columbia Umpire's Association
Page 40: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Offensive• Double play ball, R1 intentionally tries to break

up the double play at second• Time is called immediately• R1 is out and call B-R out for actions of R1

Page 41: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Batter Interference

Page 42: British Columbia Umpire's Association
Page 43: British Columbia Umpire's Association
Page 44: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Batter Interference • Signal interference• wait and see what happens• if runner is thrown out then ignore the

interference• otherwise call batter out and return all runners

to TOP base

Page 45: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Defensive (Catcher’s) Interference

Page 46: British Columbia Umpire's Association
Page 47: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Defensive (Catcher’s) Interference• Signal the interference• Let the play continue• If all runners including the Batter-Runner

reach 1 base safely beyond TOP base, ignore the interference

• If not, place BR at 1st and all other runners return unless forced or they were stealing on the play

• Offense has the option on this play

Page 48: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Umpire Interference• Umpire is hit by fair batted ball before infielder

has a chance to play the ball• Call Time, signal interference, place B-R at 1st and

return all other runners to TOP base unless forced• Plate umpire interferes with catchers throw

• Signal interference, wait to see what happens, if runner is out ignore, if not call time and return all runners to TOP base

Page 49: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Spectator Interference• Two areas: Player land, Spectator land• If player goes into Spectator land, then they

are on their own• If a spectator goes into Player Land and

interferes with a play then we have Spectator interference• Signal Spectator Interference• Call time• Position runners where you think they would have

gone if no interference occurred

Page 50: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• The defense gets in the way of the offense, usually when they are running

• On all types of obstruction, signal obstruction right away

1. Play being made on runner• Call time right away• Position runners where you think they would have

gotten to2. No play being made on runner

• Time delayed• Protect runner to base where you think they should

have gotten if no obstruction• Runner is on their own if they try to go beyond this

base

Page 51: British Columbia Umpire's Association

• Can use Full Windup or Set Position (must come to a stop if uses set position)

• 3 things a pitcher CAN do while on the rubber

1. Pitch (step directly towards the plate)2. Step directly towards and throw to a base

(occupied or to make a play)• fake towards 2nd and 3rd, but must throw to 1st

3. Step off the rubber (directly back, not off to a side)
