 Let's take a look now at a role that I think is misunderstood sometimes by fans and Parents you can particularly More happens more often in lower levels of play like little league younger kids like that and this is When the batter or earthy runner in this case would be out Due to touching a teammate or a coach and so if we look at the rule here roll 7.09 This is part H. Basically all these 7.09 say the batter is out when and so this one is The batter is out when in the judgment of the umpire the first or the third base coach by touching holding Touching or holding the runner will physically assist him in returning to or leaving the base whether it's third or first base and so the key factor here is that we must have this physical Assistance the number one area where this is often this rule is often misquoted is where Oftentimes it'll happen in the little league world series Something like that where a player will hit a home run he will be running around the bases is it all of his Excited teammates will run out to greet him Maybe as he's coming down around the third baseline and though all the players on his his teammates will line up And they'll give him a high five As he's coming down to step on home plate or or even the first base coach or the third base coach will do that and sometimes parents will say hey the Somebody has touched this this player He should be out but in reality in this situation if it's a high five or handshake something like that There was no real physical Assistance given to him Where where you could see this being an issue obviously is Maybe somebody maybe there's a runner on third base and he's getting ready to tag up or something there's a fly ball hit to the outfield and the runner One that needs an extra boost or something and the third base coach might come up and put push push him off or something Like that or maybe if he if a runner were to Overrun the base and then the the first base coach might try to pull him back Obviously that would be what we're referring to here That would be an out but as far as handshakes high fives things like that Those are all perfectly acceptable because it's not any type of physical assistance
