WOOT WOOT WOOT.. Baseball FINALLY leaned on SOFTBALL for something.. :) :) Wouldn't the 'attempt at tripping' be "Obstruction" only? Houston County Umpires appreciate these..
I have to admit I had quite a lively debate with myself about caseplay 4, whether being put out for malicious contact before reaching a base to which the runner is forced qualifies as a force out for purposes of 9-1-1b; in the end I decided it's a time play and answered D, but I suspect if there were ever a published case play or interpretation, spirit of the rule would probably make it a force play. if a runner is declared out on appeal for missing a base to which he was forced, that's considered a force out, so I suppose being put out for malicious contact would fall in the same category.
@@UmpireClassroom ah, yes, I see from the other comment that we do have a published caseplay which explicitly states that a runner being put out for malicious contact before reaching a base to which he was forced is a force out, which satisfies the no runs may score condition of 9-1-1b. in hindsight it really wouldn't make sense to do it any other way.
Great video!
These videos are fantastic. You should sell them as a DVD set and/or mini-manuals that can be carried in a back pocket. Thanks for doing them!!
Glad you like them!

I had an ejection for malicious contact on a play at the plate during my very first HS game!
Hope this helped!
Excellent breakdown of malicious contact! HOCO Umpires!!

You aren't alone in this! It was the most missed question of the week!
