can a softball pitcher block home plate?
I know in baseball the pitcher can block but is it legal in softball for a pitcher to block the plate or be off the plate with the ball and stand in the way of the runner? Isn’t this interference? You said the key word – with the ball. If a fielder in position to make a tag the runner has the impetus to avoid contact but stay within the baseline. It would not be interference as that can only be caused by the offensive player; defensive players commit obstruction. (Please don’t get me started on catcher’s interference.) It would beiobstruction in softball if the defensive player blocks the base without the ball and in position to make a play.
