I'm currently coaching a 5-6 y.o. T-ball team in my home town. As I expected, the kids are progressing as the season goes by, but last night one of our players did something that I had never seen before. He turned an unassisted triple play. Runners on 1st & 2nd base. Pop-up to him at 2nd base, caught and ran to 2nd base then ran down the runner going back to 1st. After doing a little research, I am even more amazed at what I witnessed last night. This has only been done 15 times in Major League baseball history.
Ya...because MLB runners know to stay on base when there is a pop up to 2nd!

Usually there is a rule at that age that the player has to throw the ball to record the out.

I once saw a 5 yr old run towards third instead of first after they hit the ball. I was even more amazed after researching it and seeing it has never even been done ONCE in MLB history!

Understand that what you described, in MLB, that's not an unassisted triple play.

He probably said that because of the infield fly rule?
Posted on 5/26/14 at 11:37 am to Master of Sinanju
The infield fly would have been in effect, the batter would have been out before the catch; the force removed.
Posted on 5/26/14 at 12:56 pm to TigerintheNO
The infield fly is treated as a fly that is automatically caught. Runners can be still be doubled off their base if they don't tag.

The ball is alive and runners may advance at the risk of the ball being caught, or retouch and advance after the ball is touched, the same as on any fly ball.
