Baseball rule on force plays at first base
The necessary act is to secure the ball and touch first base or force the runner out by touching first base before the runner does. The fielder must maintain possession and execute contact with the base in time to complete the force out on the play.
Umpires Define Catch to Hands Not Arm Holds in Baseball
Major league umpires say a play is completed only when the ball is securely held in the fielder s hand or hands. If a ball reaches the fielder early at first or on a force, the runner is out only if the ball is held firmly before the runner arrives. Juggled balls held under the arm do not complete the play.
