Appeal - Answer✅✅A play or rule violation on which the umpire does not make a
ruling until requested by a coach or player.
Types of appeals (a) - Answer✅✅Missing a base, either advancing or returning
Types of appeals (b) - Answer✅✅Leaving a base on a caught fly ball before the ball
is first touched
Types of appeals (c) - Answer✅✅Batting out of order (dead ball appeal only)
Types of appeals (d) - Answer✅✅Attempting to advance to second base after
making the turn at first base overrunning first base (live ball appeal only)
Plate and Missed Tag - Answer✅✅If a runner misses home plate and the catcher
misses the tag, the umpire should hesitate slightly. If no tag is made, the umpire
should declare the runner safe. If an appeal play is then made by tagging either the
runner or home plate, the umpire should then make a decision on this appeal play.
Tag ups - Answer✅✅If a runner leaves a base too soon on a caught fly ball and
returns in an attempt to retag, this is considered a time play and not a force out. If
the appeal is the third out, all runs scored by runners in advance of the appealed
runner and scored before the legal appeal would count.
, Force Out - Answer✅✅If an appeal is honored at a base to which a runner was
forced to advance, no runs would score if it was the third out.
Avoiding a tag - base path - Answer✅✅A base runner who attempts to avoid a tag
by running more than 3 feet to either side of a fielder in possession of the ball shall
be declared out ***may run outside the 3 foot lane to avoid a fielder attempting to
field a batted ball
Control on a Catch - Answer✅✅In establishing the validity of the catch, the fielder
must prove control of the ball and that the release of the ball is voluntary and
intentional. If ball is dropped in transferring to throwing hand or in making the throw,
the ball shall be ruled caught
Chopped hit ball - Answer✅✅An illegally hit ball which is struck with a downward
motion
Charged conference - Answer✅✅when a coach or dugout/bench personnel
requests and is granted a time-out to meet with offensive or defensive personnel
Dead ball territory - Answer✅✅The area beyond any real boundary, such as a fence,
rope, chalk line, any stands, bleachers, dugouts, player's bench or designated media
area, or any imaginary boundary line as determined in the pregame conference. If a
ball becomes lodged in a fence or backstop, it is considered to be in dead-ball area
Force Play Reinstated - Answer✅✅If a forced runner, after touching the next base,
except home, retreats for any reason towards the base first occupied, the force play
is reinstated and the runner may again be out out if the defense tags the base to
which the runner is forced
Foul tip - Answer✅✅Batted ball that goes sharply and directly from the bat to the
catcher's mitt or hand and is legally caught by the catcher. It is a strike (so if it's the
third strike, batter is out)
Infield Fly Rule - Answer✅✅A fair fly that can be caught by an infielder with
ordinary effort when runners are on first and second or all three bases are occupied
and before there are two outs in the inning. The rule does not preclude outfielders
from being permitted to make the catch. The ball is live, the batter is out, which
removes the force, but runners may advance at their own risk. The runners may tag
up and advance as soon as the batted ball is touched by a fielder. If a declared infield
fly becomes foul-foul ball
Obstruction (defense) - Answer✅✅The act of the defensive team member that
hinders or impedes a batter's attempt to make contact with a pitched ball or that
impedes a batter's attempt to make contact with a pitched ball or that impedes the
progress of a runner or batter-runner who is legally running bases, unless the fielder
is in possession of the ball or is making the initial play on a batted ball. The act may
be intentional or unintentional, physical or verbal
