“In front of the plate”

The rule is not specific enough. Is it any part of the foot? Does the entire foot have to be in front of the plate? Over half of the foot? If any part of the foot, then the call was correct- we had toea past the front of the plate. But the way it is written my immediate thought is the entire foot has to be in front of the plate. Rules impacting scoring should be more specific.

sure it is "in front" does not mean "farther forward than"
if a car driving in the next lane is farther ahead of you, you don't say they are in front of you.

The batter clearly stepped out before the pitch was delivered.

Is in front of literally in front of or parallel in front of. Sorry but can’t describe it.

Neal was in the perfect spot. Runner had a place to slide and the batter bailed. He wasn't blocking shite.

The fact that this question is possible belies the fact that the rule is not written with enough clarity.

I interpret the ruling to mean in fair territory. The plate is fair and in front would be between the baselines in fair. Neal was next to the plate but outside the foul line - not in fair territory. I may be just trying to make it make more sense in plain language.

If that’s the intent then that’s the way it should be written. Rule ambiguity is a failure of the governing body.

Assume the foot crossed "the plane" of the plate. How did the ump come to that conclusion 5 mins after the play when he didn't notice it during the play? Without a video review, the play should have stood as called.

It was a very poor judgment call. No way the infraction was clear enough to make that call. The other part of the potential infraction is contact with the batter. The batter had left the batter’s box ahead of Neal moving there. Also, the ball was already on the way in with the batter out of the box. There was definitely no balk or catcher interference.
The turd wanted to make that call so he stretched the rule and conferred withe other umps…..like they could have seen anything related to his feet or if the pitcher stepped off.
