R1 outs don't matter. OBR rule set. R1 breaks early on the pitch to the batter. R1 arrives at second base at the time the batter fouls off the pitch. Can the runner be allowed to stay at second? Or do we have him return because the base he last occupied at TOP was 1st when the ball was fouled off? I seem to recall reading about this a few years ago, but I can't find the correct reference in the BRD. Any help would be appreciated!!!

Hey everyone, I didn't have a call to make for this question, but I've heard different explanations from different people. Situation: Runner on 2nd. On the pitch R2 attempts to steal so the catcher... a) because of a wild pitch/passed ball, locates the ball behind/beside him and throws to third b) catches the pitch cleanly, and throws the ball to third For both of these situations, where would the batter have to be for you to call batter interference? Originally I believed on a cleanly caught ball as in (b), the batter MUST stay in the batters box. If the batter steps out and the catcher (who stepped out to make the throw) hits the batter with his throw then this would be interference. Regarding (a), is the batter required to move out of the batters box to avoid interfering with the play? Thanks in advance!
