| Aug. 27 garyheifner 649 posts | Force out? If your an infielder and dive for a grounder. Ball is in your glove but U can't reach the base for the force out with your glove or foot in time. But, U can reach it with your bare/throwing hand. Is that a force out? |
| Aug. 27 DaveDowell Men's 70 4321 posts | Force out? YES ... Rarely is a force out completed by touching the base with the glove containing the ball ... There is no such requirement ... Most often, contact with the base is by the foot of the fielder while possessing the ball in his glove or throwing hand ... |

| Aug. 27 DaveDowell Men's 70 4321 posts | Force out? "...Force plays, or force outs, are one of the two ways to get a runner out on a ground ball. For a fielder to get a forced runner out, he must, while possessing a batted fair ball, either (1) touch the base to which the forced runner must advance before the forced runner does so, or (2) tag that runner before the runner touches that base..." |
