The guideline for 2-9-4 is that the player has not entered dead-ball territory until the player has touched dead-ball territory with an entire foot or another part of the body. The video play is a "catch and carry", i.e., if not the 3rd out, each runner is awarded one base from the time of the pitch.
Stated again, a player has not fallen into dead-ball territory until said player has touched dead-ball territory with an entire foot or another part of the body.
You don't have to believe.
Here is the written word:
- Code: Select all
[NFHS]
Case Book play 5-1-1K:
While attempting to make a catch, F3 (a) leaves live-ball territory with one foot and then steps back into live-ball territory to make the catch, or (b) dives from live-ball territory and, before coming to rest landing completely in dead-ball territory, makes the catch. RULING: In (a) and (b), the catch is permitted. In (b), the ball becomes dead as soon as either one of F3's feet touches completely in dead-ball territory, or any other part of her body touches dead-ball territory. Runners are awarded one base. (5-1-1i Note, 8-4-3h).
