Question
If there is a guy occupying first base and there is a guy on third base, all with
two outs, and the guy at plate strikes out but the catcher misses the ball
does the catcher have throw to first base if that guy just stays there?
He either has to tag the batter out or throw to first base to get the out. It's not automatic, the out has to be erned by the defensive team....Great question....
