i will be honest, I didn't know this was legal. Surprised more lower level teams haven't tried it.
Long read, but apparently there isn't a defined base path until the tag attempt comes, so a guy can run anywhere. High school championship game a few years ago a coach in a first and third situation ran a guy into the outfield grass form first trying to induce a throw and it turned into a lengthy standoff.
