# he is not touching a base (other than after overrunning first base or when advancing to an awarded base, such as on a Base On Balls ); # he is touching a base he has been forced to vacate because the Batter Became A Baserunner ; # he has not Tagged Up on a caught Fly Ball ; # he failed to touch a base when he last passed it, or to touch them in order; or # he is touching a base that a preceding baserunner is also touching, except when forced to vacate the previous base because the Batter Became A Baserunner A tag is the most common way to retire baserunners who are not in danger of being Forced Out (as in (1) above), but a tag can put runners out on a force or a non-force play, as well as on an Appeal Play (as in (3) or (4) above). Runners attempting to advance are sometimes thrown out, which means that a fielder throws the ball to someone covering the base, who then tags the runner before the runner touches the base. A runner who leads off a base too far might be '''picked off'''; that is, the pitcher throws to a fielder covering the base, who then tags the runner out. |
