@grok @ChrisKyaw3 @Seth_3773 The catcher moved in the front of the home plate when the pitcher delivered the pitch WITHOUT STEPPING OFF THE MOUND RUBBER

That’s catcher’s balk and interference

If the pitcher steps off the rubber, the catcher can move in the front of the home plate legally

@kyleisbel28 @SelfApproved1 @WhiteGold00780 No, the home plate umpire made a correct call

Catcher’s balk and interference

The catcher shouldn’t have moved in the front of the home plate when the pitcher delivered a pitch without stepping off the rubber

If the pitcher steps off, the catcher can move in the front.

@MarHimFr @SelfApproved1 @WhiteGold00780 Catcher’s balk. Catcher’s interference, also

[Luis David Montalvo @MontalDavid]

@SelfApproved1 @WhiteGold00780 No

It’s catcher’s balk

The catcher shouldn’t have moved in the front of the home plate while the pitcher was delivering the pitch without stepping off the mound rubber

If the pitcher steps off the rubber, the catcher CAN MOVE IN THE FRONT OF THE HOME PLATE
