Скачать или смотреть Ejection 012 - Kotsay Ejected by Knight After Overturned Replay Awards Texas Run for Plate Blocking

HP Umpire Brian Knight ejected Athletics manager Mark Kotsay for arguing a Replay Review decision that overturned Knight's original out call on a play at home plate due to MLB's home plate collision rule. Report: https://www.closecallsports.com/2022/...

Official Baseball Rule 6.01(i)(2) prohibits the catcher, without possession of the ball, from blocking home plate when a runner is sliding in or attempting to score a run. We see here that A's catcher Sean Murphy blocked Rangers baserunner Eli White as White attempted to score, setting up with his left foot blocking White's path to home plate prior to possessing the baseball.

This is violation of OBR 6.01(i)(2) for illegal plate blocking, the penalty for which is a dead ball and the awarding of home plate to the offended runner, thus scoring a run.
