  1. Did the ball bounce off of the ground? I am having difficulty trying to figure out why the pitcher threw home? If there was a force, and he caught it in the air, wouldn’t he need to get the runner at 3rd possibly going to tag up? I get the double play if the pitcher catches it in the air and goes to first because the runner takes off. The only logical explanation I can muster up is it was to hold the runner from tagging up at 3rd. 🤷‍♂️

  2. I screen recorded the video and isolated the frame where the catcher catches the ball, and his foot has just begun to lose contact with home plate. Frame rate will prevent this from being definitive, and I wouldn’t expect an ump to definitively determine whether he was still on the plate or not at the time of the catch in real time. I think he might’ve been off the plate, but it’s extremely close.

  3. Doesn't that make the play at first a must tag situation if you step on the base in front of it being home plate?

  4. Can't post pictures here but I screen recorded it and slowed it down, his foot was on the plate when the ball appeared to hit his glove.

  5. Thats 3 outs pitcher caught the ball runner at first didn't tag up and got the runner going to first take that back ball bounced

  6. Wow, a play I could make in my sleep by the time I was 8 or 9 years old – either position!😂

  7. Nvm that is bc there was a guy on first and the pitcher caught it and the guy that was on first didn’t tag up

  8. It’s technically a double play because he caught the runner out, threw home to get two, and then threw to first just getting the runner who hit it to him out, so it’s only two outs. If the catcher threw it to second and they got him out, then it would be a triple play.
