Rule Quiz of the Week: Runner Passing-Clock

September 24, 2020

The Situation

With only one out, the runner from first is holding on the fly ball to right. The ball is dropped, what's the call?

The Call

  1. The original runner from first is out. Dead ball.

  2. The B-R is out. Ball is alive and in play.

  3. To put anyone out, a fielder must tag one of the runners.

Baseball is a complex game, but many of us understand it well enough to play. But how many of us ever learned to actively interpret the rule book? And how many of us can say that we’ve mastered all those rules? 

The good news is you don’t need to be an umpire to get all the rules right. Baseball Rules Explorer, found in the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store, by Umpire's Media puts the ruleset in your hands.
