Short of a method to make access to a base fair, teams will continue purposely throwing the ball to a spot that actually causes the base player to block access to a base. But in all seriousness, the first rule change I proposed may actually achieve a level of fairness while trying to account for player safety. The second one would be lit, runner trying to steal second gets caught in a run down between the center fielder and right fielder. If the defensive base player, either with or without the ball, is blocking the runner’s access to the base then we have two options, if the base runner tags the base player prior to getting tagged with the ball then the base runner is safe OR the base runner can leave the baseline to avoid contact with the base player and the base player must chase down the runner down and tag him. Where am I going with all this? Glad you asked! Here is my proposal and either MLB is actually concerned with player safety or they are just trying to look like they are. In those scenarios something like 98% of the base player that can’t actually tag a runner out is blocking the runner’s access to the base. When there is a base runner trying to steal second how many times does the second baseman (or shortstop in this era of shifting) end up blocking the base line and the runner’s access to the base? Base runners cannot “blow up” the second baseman nor any other base player yet the base players actively block access to the base while the only part of the base player that can actually case an Un-forced out is the hand with the Bally which is typically the gloved hand. The change was made partially in response to a May 2011 collision at home plate that saw star catcher Buster Posey suffer a season-ending ankle injury.
1st is also the only base which does not have a rule forcing the runner to avoid running into the base player. There are various reasons for that but primarily they appear to be moderately fearful of injury from a collision with the runner. The only base where the defensive base player does not actively block their base is at 1st. Cubs Anthony Rizzo discusses his home-plate collision and his bunt single. Unless the catcher is in possession of the ball, the catcher cannot block the pathway of the runner as he is attempting. Baseball has certainly tried to evolve but players typically bring things back after adjusting their play. Below is a list of the main key points of the rule: A runner attempting to score may not deviate from his direct pathway to the plate in order to initiate contact with the. Ross, now a San Francisco Giants outfielder, was. First off I want to say I am a Royals fan and haven’t seen the plays being talked about specifically so I don’t have a dog in the fight, but I would like to share my observations of similar plays. LOUIS I have a scar here, Cody Ross said, and he rolled up his right pants leg to show a gash from a catcher’s shin guard.
