Question
Guest Peter Huang
Situation:
an ambidextrous first baseman chooses to field as righty thrower if he has to runners on second or third to facilitate throwing to third or home. But as lefty with two outs or with no runners or runner or second for easier throw to second.
Situation. Less than two outs. Runner on 1st. Ambi first baseman plays as lefty thrower. Runner goes, grounder to first glances off glove behind him. Runner is gonna round second heading to third. First baseman decides to remove glove off right hand as he runs towards the ball, picks up with right barehanded to throw to third to avoid having to spin around as lefty.
Ump later tells player he cannot remove glove.
However the removed glove has not made contact with ball. So is there any penalty for removing infielders glove during play if contact is not made by loose ball with glove?
similarly. Can an ambi pitcher execute pickoff to second with stepoff as lefty pitcher on mound but throw to second with right? Or vice versa..
