JWC1022 posted:I have one more clarification for you guys. If the batter strikes out and commits unintentional follow-through interference you can send the runner back without grabbing a second out. It is the umpires judgement as to whether or not the batters interference prevented a double play. For example: A runner is attempting to steal third and the batter strikes out on the pitch but commits follow-through interference, if the runner is safe at third and in the umpire's judgement would have been easily safe without the interference (let's say the runner comes in standing up for argument's sake) the runner can be sent back to second without being called out for the batters interference.
Correct by rule in FED. In practice, 95% of the time the runner is going to be out for the batter's interference.
In OBR (and NCAA), if it's unintentional follow-through interference, there's no option for a second out -- the runners return.
I should add that in OBR and NCAA, follow-through interference (called "backswing interference" in the rules) is different from other types of Batter Interference. The former is sometimes called "weak interference" because the only penalty is that the ball is dead and runners return.
In FED, both types of interference are treated the same way.
