Welcome to the MLB Lemmy.World community!

Rules:

  1. This is a place for baseball fans to discuss anything related to baseball. All posts should relate to the teams, players (past, present, or potential future members), managers, or MLB staff. Posts about MiLB or international leagues are allowed, although ideally should focus on prospects that may join the MLB.
  2. Keep things civil. Criticism of teams, the league, etc. is fine, but this isn't the place to insult fans of a team you don't like. Don't insult other users. Slurs and hate speech are not tolerated, regardless of whether you're talking about users, players, or anyone else.
  3. Follow site-wide rules.

From your linked article:

What is interference?

There are different levels of interference when it comes to baserunners.

Per MLB rules, players on the batting team, including coaches, cannot get in the way of a player trying to field a batted ball. However, the rule states that if interference takes place on a batted ball, only the batter is declared out. All other runners must return to their previous bases.

The only time a runner is declared out is when a player or coach interferes with the fielder's right of way to throw a ball. If so, the player for whom the throw was intended to get out will be ruled out.
