But in my eyes he beat the throw
He did not.

he just had to slow up because their was no option to get to the plate.
No, he did what he should've done.

So he was supposed to turn around and go back?
That's a bad option B.

Imo he was safe

He should have been safe.. by rule the catcher has to have clear possession of the ball in order to be allowed to block the plate. He blocked the plate without the ball. Supposed to be an easy safe call there

gonna need to see the literal NCAA definition cause I don't think you're right
I believe catcher has the right to go to where the ball takes you

pretty sure Foster would have been called out if he did that.

Catcher was "going for the ball" I guess.

Sure, no problem.

Only option is to slide wide right then reach your hand over.Catcher in college can block the plate as the ball is coming. I hate the rule but it is what it is.

The rules of college baseball were changed to prevent collisions at the plate.
Because the NCAA is made of pansies.

You don't run him over but you also don't slide like a bitch. Put your cleats up and make him make that same play with a cleat in his chest. You don't curl up like he did.

The collision rule is only in effect if the fielder has clear possession of the ball. Without the ball it's treated as any fielder blocking the plate. Otherwise he has to provide a clear path to the base.

I always put my cleats into the catcher's mitt.

Here is the rule asked to an ump. Check second to last sectence
Answer:
There are several different interpretations of the obstruction rule in amateur baseball currently. High school obstruction is significantly different from the college rule. As an umpire it is often difficult to instantly remember which level you are working when a play explodes at the plate, especially as umpires work different levels of baseball on different days. That being said, at the high school level the catcher is allowed to block the plate while he is in the act of fielding a thrown ball. In the act of fielding is loosely interpreted as when the ball thrown from the outfield enters the infield dirt area. At the college level starting the 2002 season, a the catcher can not block the plate until he has the ball in his possession. As I read your description of the play it appears the call was right.nswer:
