Tag Up

[Guest Rene Justiniano]

If I leave early on a tag up play, while returning to the bag to retouch before I can get there there is an overthrow, I immediately run towards the other bag without retouching the base I came from.. If they appeal am I out?

Yes. You are still required to retouch when the ball is dead and you have been awarded bases.

Answer already given, but: is the batter still out? Isn't that what required a tag up in the first place? Nothing about the baserunning responsibilities changes when the throw goes out.

I believe so as he called it a tag-up play. The overthrow came after.

I understand the situation, and was not requesting clarification.

I was offering a way for the OP to think through the play to reach the answer him- or herself.

Cite the man a Rule, you satisfy his baseball question...

Teach the man how to logically think through and judge a play, you enrich his (baseball) life.
