You make the call -- safe or out?

Check out this video

 

What would you call on this play?

It looks like the catcher got him, but he's safe.

The ump called him out.

[FairFan]

At first it looked like the catcher swithed the ball to his non glove hand, but he didnt, he just stuck it out there.

I'd call him safe

[Butterfingers]

He may not have tagged him but if this would have happened in Kentucky HS he is out. you are not allowed to leap over a tag.

He's out. Unless the defender(catcher in this play) is lying on the ground, the player cannot hurdle the defender. He's out.

Butterfingers and CSHS81 are correct. This is a safety issue. It doesn't matter whether or not a tag was applied.

 

Cool video, though!

Agree with, Butterfingers, and CSHS81, the man is out.....and as per usual the man in blue is correct! Good job blue.....

He is out by rule, but what an athletic play!

He's out. Unless the defender(catcher in this play) is lying on the ground, the player cannot hurdle the defender. He's out.

 

cshs81, you are exactly correct....NFHS rules, he's out

[FairFan]

He's out. Unless the defender(catcher in this play) is lying on the ground, the player cannot hurdle the defender. He's out.

So he should just run over him then...right. That sounds like a pretty stupid rule.

Butterfingers and CSHS81 are correct. This is a safety issue.

How is that anymore dangerous than sliding into a base, metal spikes first. I am sure everyone will argue with me, but I dont like that rule at all.

Is it legal in college and / or professional baseball?
