If he did in fact step out of the batter's box it was AFTER he made contact with the ball, so that is not a violation. (Obviously you're allowed to leave the box once you hit the ball, in order to run to first.)
But obviously it was catcher's interference. Not sure how the umpire missed that.
From an umpire, first off it was catchers interference that call is correct. And you can barely see the batters box in the video but he does stay in the box and even of his foot would have stepped out of the box he already had catchers interference on it. Once the contact was made with the catchers glove the play is considered dead and runners advance if forced and batter takes 1st, and if only an out if THE BATTER MAKES CONTACT WITH THE BALL WHILE HAVING 1 OR 2 FEET OUTSIDE OF THE BATTERS BOX.
First of all to all you morons who don't know the rules and are posting comments. It is not catcher's interference it is called catcher's obstruction!!
The batter gets first base and all runners move up if forced by batter going to 1st.
So to all you morons at ball games that yell interference...the offense creates interference, the defense creates obstruction.
@daveumpire bro shut th fuck up moron?!?! u souch a loser your an umpire guess wat i hate umpire lyk u u probably play mountain ball u dont play baseball so if i was u i would shut your mouth

its a little league game who gives a fuck if its interference its not like your kid is going to be the next a rod or play for the Yankees its just a game who gives a shit if this is the kind of shit that matters to you a stupid call on a little league game than you need to get a life
@HEF51 u are stupid!!!! no its a free walk they were trying to get him on base by pitching way outside but the pitcher accidentally pitching it right where the kid can swing at. stupid kid learn what is going on
@MoNsTeRxMAFIAx well to throw an effective intentional walk you might want to throw it the same speed or close to the same speed as any other pitch...not a looping gravity ball that makes the catcher catch it underhand
w/e lol if your seriously making such a big deal over this you have issues... first of all, you won 16-0, why the fuck would you be complaining? Plus, he was being intentionally walked, he's getting first base regardless of what happens... to put this on here complaining is just stupid
@JeffYaddow So when you make fun of somebody's grammar it's because you have a past of being illiterate? I called you a fag because only a homo would come up with some weak ass reason to chirp somebody. Now shove it up in ya gay boy
@JeffYaddow You made 1 mistake about 25 times. Don't grill someone over grammar dummy. Especially if you make a ton of mistakes yourself. That's just stupid. By the way, I did not realize you have a mental disability. The last time I saw someone batting, I didn't see them wearing a mit! LOL Your a dummy.
@JeffYaddow the word i is supposed to be capitalized, I. jeffrey, I would throw the ball at your head 100% of the time just to have fun. Now go have homosexually relationships with your boyfriend fag and keep it behind closed doors. Did I mention your a fag? FAG FAG FAG FAG FAG
@JeffYaddow By the way i also don't understand why you explained your "skills" of baseball to me. and wow 75 percent of the time? jesus thats not even as good as me bro. so again I DONT FUCKING CARE!!!
@JeffYaddow I'm not angry and really epicly? holy shit man...do you know what a vagina is without using a dictionary or internet to look it up? jesus christ its the fucking internet kid. Is your life this pathetic that you have to reply back to my first statement with a smart ass remark? really i dont give a fuck kid just stop while you're ahed because i dont give a fuck about you nor do i care what you say. reason im replying back is so i let you know that i don't give a flying fuck.
yeah thats catcher ineterference he makes contact with the bat and he didn't step out of the batters box during the swing he stepped out because of his back swing which is fine and these kids look like they really suck.
This is absolutely catcher's interference...why would you think it isn't? Also, even during a pitch-out, which that was, the batter can still hit the ball as long as its over the plate....and you guys won 16-0 and you were intentionally walking a batter?
the catchers glove was most defiantly in the way, lol it looked like the catcher was trying to take the ball before the batter could hit it. it was catcher interference. and why would you care if you said your team beat them?
He was being intentionally walked anyway. Either way he would be awarded first base.
It cracks me up "IT"S CATCHERS INTERFERENCE!!!!" and all the arguing. over this meaningless call. It would be different if he wasting being walked from the get go.
usually, when you intentoinally walk someone, you pitch it off to the side. as you can see, he tosses it right down the pipe, and the catcher reaches for the ball.
For those of you PARENTS who don't know rules!!! Please read below, as Bluesteve explains. The Umpire whether you people like it or not WAS CORRECT!! This is Catchers Interference. Whether Little League or Professional, This rule is the same. Awesome Job Umpire. Now Loose the outside protector and work on that voice, Otherwise... Great Job!!
@russiaCANT No interference is on the offense which causes the ball to be dead immedially. Obstruction is the on the defense and it's a delay dead ball. if the kid would hit a home run, the coach has the option to take the play or award the catchers obstruction.
@buddaman200522 in this case if the bat of the batter in any way touches the catcher or the catchers mitt it is "Catcher Interference" batter is awarded 1st. base
yeah.. umpires who use the bloons (nowadays) are usually not good.. especially when they don't know the rules like this guy just said when he thought the kid stepped out of the batters box lol.. thats a good question tho.. what does happen if u have a catchers interference AND a foot out of the batters box o_O (which was almost the case here)
@nick09270 no he doesn't lol he swung and hit the ball already.. which after the ball is already in play or out play the batter can do w/e the hell he pleases.. and the rule for that is u have to have a WHOLE foot outside the batters box.. if ur big toe is still in the batters box.. then ur still classified as being in the batters box but the coach is right lol if he did step out of the batters box he would be out..
@gypsycabs Depending on what rule code you are using, catcher's interference would be the correct call in OBR, LL, and NCAA codes. In NFHS, it would be catcher's obstruction. Penalties in all codes are the same, though.
@Bluesteve32 I'm pretty sure you're wrong. A quick Google of those league's rules shows they're the same as all other leagues; Offensive players INTERFERE, Defensive players OBSTRUCT.
@gypsycabs gypsy ur a moron.catchers interference is one of those golden exceptions to the rules.. theres always exceptions to the rules.. a catcher is interfering with a play.. he isn't obstructing any1 from going anywhere.. he is interfering with a play that could have happened if it never happened.. an obstruction is just when some1 in in the way of some1 else getting to a base like a wall that's obstructing some1s view...
@curveballmick Judging by your grammar you've never picked up a book before, so let me see if I can dumb it down to your level. According to the rules, defensive teams OBSTRUCT and offensive teams INTERFERE. Since a catcher is a DEFENSIVE player, the rules violation in this case would be OBSTRUCTION. There is no such thing as DEFENSIVE INTERFERENCE. If that doesn't help you, go find a 2nd grader to explain it to you. Of course, I am the one who is a moron though, right? "Golden exceptions??" Ha!
@gypsycabs picking up a book and proving u that u are in idiot.. i have a rule book in my hand right now.. Definition of interference (a) offensive interference is act by offensive team that interferes, obstructs, impedes, hinders or confuses any fielder temping to make a play. (b) DEFENSIVE interference is act by a IFIELDER which hinders or prevents a batter from hitting a pitch. (c) umpires interference umpire hinders or prevents catchers throw.. or gets hit with bated ball etc... -.-
@gypsycabs hence CATCHERS interference is a DEFENSIVE interference.. ty very much or check rule 6.08 (c) the batter is entitled to first base without liability to be put out IF catcher or any fielder INTERFERES with batter...
@gypsycabs little league rule book.. always carry one with me when i go to games.. don't feel horrible.. u arn't the only one who would confuse that rule.. and others confuse the other annoying rule of the foul ball vs foul tip as well.. even announcers and coaches don't know the difference between it lol btw that rule is little different in little league than it would be at college and mlb..
@curveballmick I do believe you didn't cut and paste given the spelling errors in your post, but I'd still like to see you link to an official body's rules. I'm mostly a softball guy, in which case the catcher can NEVER INTERFERE, only OBSTRUCT, but from what I've found it carries over into these leagues as well, save some goofy district rules put together by local boards. I'd also love to hear your explanation of "one of those golden exceptions." What the hell did you mean by that?!?
@gypsycabs thats why u play softball quick pitch or arch? i gave rules that go around US that are used during the williamsport world series games that u can see on tv they arn't local league flimsy rules and a catcher can obstruct to by being in the base path w/o the ball i wish i could send u the rule book unfortunantely won't let me look at the rules becuz im not subscribed and golden rules meaning like catchers interference something u wouldn't think exsists but does weird stupid rules
@grant1500 FALSE! Offensive players interfere, defensive players obstruct. I was half kidding, half being a nitpicker with my comment. But I do believe all of you who are calling for interference should at least get this basic terminology down before trying to play umpire. If there is a rule violation against the catcher, it's OBSTRUCTION, not interference.
Of course it was a terrible pitch these kids are like 10 years old.... Honestly WHO CARES just play the game for the fun of it! One missed call in a stupid rec league doesn't matter. I swear everyone parent in Raleigh that has kids that play baseball are fucking retarded. Some asshole was raging to the ump for 20 minutes because his douche bag son got thrown out.
As an umpire say, MY GOODNESS, this is little league! Who cares! It is difficult to see everything, particularly batters stepping out of the batters box - when working the two-man system. You're looking for balks (not sure if that applies to this age group, depending on the outcome scenario), and many other things. Trust me, for the $50.......
dude can this pitcher seriously not intentionally walk a guy? god just throw the ball way outside..he almost nailed him in the head oon the second pitch
@cardinalfan4678 dude they are kids they are still learning the game, they arent going to be any good, second the ump is not helping them learn the game by blowing the call
@cardinalfan4678 Theyre throwing to him because they dont want him to score..They usually do that when theyve hit multiple good hits that game...Usually a homerun or two...
@cardinalfan4678 Theyre throwing to him like that because they dont want him to score..They usually do that when theyve hit multiple good hits that game...Usually a homerun or two...
@cardinalfan4678 Theyre throwing to him like that because they dont want him to score..They usually do that when theyve hit multiple good hits that game...Usually a homerun or two...He was being intentionally walked..DUH
i am bother by this cause i am an umpire what the hell is wrong with these umpire damm!!!!!! where they get these people from, from the streets. nd whats up with that shield look like he going to war or something wha an IDIOT...
You wanna know how hard it is to call catchers interference behind he plate? It's the LAST thing you're looking for. I understand how obvious this was, but as an umpire I have seen a kids glove come off without the bat being swung
this is clearly interference! The catcher tried to catch the ball the batter was hitting. What is the guy talking about the kid being out of the batter's box? He was in there the whole time!
im confused, they were intentionally walking the kid with possibly the worst swing in the history of baseball, now i know this is little league, but that was weird, i have worked with kids this age and that swing was just weirdly bad
Catcher that is LOL

(b) Defensive interference is an act by a fielder which hinders or prevents a batter
from hitting a pitch." Also check 6.08c and 6.08c Comment.
Little League's rule is identical and also numbered as 2.00 Interference (b) as well as 6.08c.
NFHS, also known as "Federation" or FED (high school rules), uses "catcher's obstruction" as its terminology and is 2-22-1 and 8-1-1e.
NCAA also uses interference. Don't argue with an ump.

Defensive players don't "interfere." I've never heard of catcher interference. Obstruction maybe, but not interference.

@gypsycabs their is such a thing of catcher interferance
grant1500 11 months ago
@grant1500 FALSE! Offensive players interfere, defensive players obstruct. I was half kidding, half being a nitpicker with my comment. But I do believe all of you who are calling for interference should at least get this basic terminology down before trying to play umpire. If there is a rule violation against the catcher, it's OBSTRUCTION, not interference.

i would say catcher interference, since it happened first

Of course it was a terrible pitch these kids are like 10 years old.... Honestly WHO CARES just play the game for the fun of it! One missed call in a stupid rec league doesn't matter. I swear everyone parent in Raleigh that has kids that play baseball are fucking retarded. Some asshole was raging to the ump for 20 minutes because his douche bag son got thrown out.

As an umpire say, MY GOODNESS, this is little league! Who cares! It is difficult to see everything, particularly batters stepping out of the batters box - when working the two-man system. You're looking for balks (not sure if that applies to this age group, depending on the outcome scenario), and many other things. Trust me, for the $50.......

It's called Catcher's Obstruction. Interference is when an offensive player interferes with the ability of a defensive player to make a play.
So it is not a terrible call on Catcher's Interference, since there is no such thing!

pooperpants444 1 year ago
You wanna know how hard it is to call catchers interference behind he plate? It's the LAST thing you're looking for. I understand how obvious this was, but as an umpire I have seen a kids glove come off without the bat being swung

Fuck his glove came off, of course its a bad call.

yes that is catcher interference. the catcher put his glove in the swinging path of the batter. no doubt that is interference.

this is clearly interference! The catcher tried to catch the ball the batter was hitting. What is the guy talking about the kid being out of the batter's box? He was in there the whole time!
