As far as interference...as a certified HS umpire, first of all, I do NOT know it all but this is what I would do. On the popup around home plate, I would look for ant attempt by the runner to disrupt the catcher. And there does not have to be contact. (Some sneaky, or should I say smart players will sprint right toward the catcher and then put on the brakes. There isn't any contact BUT clearly he is interfering. Now as far as interfering with the catcher THROWING the ball. Rule #1 is to make sure the batter does something!!! As an umpire, I want to see some movement that is only made to disrupt the catcher. If a right-handed batter's momentum takes him a little bit over the plate, I will not call it. If I'm thinking it did not take him that far, the batter deliberately made part of that move, I will call it. It's tough because some batters are very good at it and I am not a mind reader. If I see the momentum go across the plate a little and then I see the right elbow stick out another six inches. I WILL call that. Remember this is a delayed call (umpire puts his fist out to the side.) Umpires should really take their time when calling this and remember the most important rule that they teach at Jim Evans umpiring school. If the catcher's first throw retires a runner, there is NO interference! You then have nothing at this play. Hope this helps Gunner.

Two interference questions:

In a pop-up around home plate. What is considered batter interference? Does their have to be contact?

Same with attempts at throwing out a base stealer?

The Great South League morphed from the Georgia Collegiate League, a league formed in the fall of 2005 by the state-wide Georgia Dugout Club, a non-profit organization which promotes high school and college baseball within the State of Georgia.  For 2011 the GSL has 9 teams in 3 states becoming "The Mega League of the South" tm.

GSL is a College Wood Bat League

The Macon Giants are located in Macon, Ga. We will play approx. 40 games. Any interested players need to contact Coach Jay Cranford. 478 256 3422  or email gsa1@bellsouth.net .
