Question

Posted

Little League majors. R1, R2, 2 outs. Plate umpire signals dropped 3rd strike on a pitch that the catcher trapped with the ball hitting the dirt before the ball was caught.  The catcher throws the ball out to right field. As this is going on the coach on defense runs onto the infield yelling that the ball was caught causing the runners to freeze. Aside from ejecting the manager, what award would the base runners receive? Thanks

It's obstruction.  Award whatever bases the runners would have obtained.

Concur with the OBS.  The base awards are totally your discretion.

As for the defensive coach (manager?), yes that's an easy ejection, but your report to the League has to be detailed enough to show what a bozo this guy is!  Especially at Little League!  These guys don't know the rules, and the League needs to measure just how much more baseball they want this guy to coach.

Rant over!
