base runner being called out. Neither the catcher nor any other

defensive player may block a base or home plate without
having possession of the ball.

making a play on the ball. This results in the runner being called

runner is deemed safe at first base.

7-13: If a batted ball hits a base runner prior to passing or being

touched by a defensive player (non-pitcher), the base runner is

by the defense to field the ball, the base runner will be called

out.
