1. There’s a runner on first, catcher’s interference is called and the batter safely makes it to first as a result of the play. If the runner on first (after safely reaching second base), makes an attempt for third base during the play and gets thrown out, does the offensive coach have the option to negate that out because of the initial interference rewarded to the batter? Or does the defense get to keep the out, because the runner on first advanced past second base at his own risk?
The out would stand. The manager of the offensive team would have no option. Once all runners, including the batter-runner advance at least one base when catcher’s interference is called, the interference is nullified. The manager would have an option in a play where all runners did not advance one base. Take the following play.
In the July 25 Astros-Rockies game in Colorado, the Astros’ Josh Reddick was batting in the top of the fourth inning with Jose Altuve on third and Yuli Gurriel on first and one out when Reddick reached first base via catcher’s interference on Tom Murphy. Reddick put the ball in fair territory despite the interference. Altuve crossed the plate on the play but Reddick never ran to first and was thrown out. Astros’ manager A.J. Hinch never exercised his option. He said,” I did consider taking the play as is, but I preferred to play for the bigger inning. One run in that ballpark never feels like enough, so I opted to take the bases loaded AB rather than concede an out.”
Altuve subsequently scored in the Astros 3-2 loss. You can view the play by going to the link below:
