Freak plays in baseball baffle fans says Billy Evans
Umpire Billy Evans discusses a controversial freak play at second and third with one out where a batter fails to touch first base. He explains the rule that no run scores when the batter fails to touch bases and a force play ends the inning.
Baseball rule note on juggling fly balls and touch plays
The passage explains why a batter is out when a fielder juggles a ball but regains possession, and why a baserunner is not out on a touch play when the ball is juggled. It references the pre 1919 rule before the general revision that clarified handling of juggling after catches and touch plays.
Baseball Rule on Touch Plays Requires Firm Ball Hold
Experts revised the playing code to require secure possession on touch plays. A runner touched with the ball three feet from base is not out if the fielder juggles the ball before the runner reaches the base, provided the runner reaches the base while the ball is still in the air. If the ball is juggled and then retained, the play is void and the runner may be safe.
