Player Positioning

[Guest Dave]

Can a player position behind the home plate ump?  For example, runner on third, extremely wild pitcher and bad catcher, can you take an outfielder, position them back behind the home plate ump for the purpose of fielding a passed ball to prevent a steal home?

No, all fielders need to be in fair territory except for the catcher.

Technically a fielder can stand in fair territory close to home plate and as soon as the pitcher starts his delivery motion the fielder can run behind the catcher.

And yes, we see that a whole lot...(eye roll)
