You are correct about first base, you can overrun it as long as you don't turn as to run to second you cant be tagged out but the moment you touch first you have to stay on first or be tagged out. FYI if a runner is going to first its a force out if he runs to first then to second its a tag out at second.
Out of over 2400 games per season, there are only 5 triple plays.I haven't seen one in years. only been 15 unassisted triple plays in MLB history, only seen one in my life.
The unassisted triple play at 3:31 on the video was because on a fly ball that doesn't hit the ground in order for a runner to advance to the next base they have to wait on the base until the catch is made before they can attempt to move forward on the bases. When the second baseman caught the ball in the air that was one out, the runner coming from first base had already passed second base and was tagged out just past second base before he could return to first, and the runner on second had already left for third base so he wasn't even in the picture. So by catching the ball, stepping on second base, and touching the player near second base, the fielder made an UNASSISTED triple play meaning he dind't have to throw the ball to anynone else. The unassisted triple play is one of the rarest events in baseball. It requires a little luck and a game situation in which all the runners are trying to advance when the ball is pitched. It tends to compress where runners are on the basepaths but can force more runs home for a score itf it works.
Glad to see more baseball on the channel! Curious if you've heard about Travis Bazzana? He's an Australian baseball player at Oregon State. He's one of the top college players right now, and he's likely going to be a top 5 pick in the MLB Draft this July. He'll be the first Australian to ever go in the first round. Thought you might be interested in following him
I tell you what... I wish the sports stuff did better numbers. I really enjoy doing the sport reactions, but the view count on them is sad. Haven't heard of Travis, honestly baseball gets no coverage here, we are a cricket nation.
A batter, turned runner heading to first base can overrun the bag. HOWEVER, they must not turn to the left AT ALL of it will be considered an active move toward second base. As long as he stays to the right of the baseline after touching first base, he can overrun the bag. This doesn't apply to any other base or running situation.

A triple play requires an amazing amount of luck and incredible reflexes, but they're always awesome to see.
Since 1903 there has only been 15 unassisted triple plays. More rare than a perfect game.
Some of those threw me for a loop, and I've been a BBfan for 40 yrs. Not bad for an Aussie, well done!
I try my best to make sense of it all 😆

A catch tags the base then tags the runner unassisted triple play

The first base"over run" rule is meant to prevent injury but the runner must run into foul territory and only applies to first base.
That's good info. Thanks
@@reachmeorteachme no worries. Baseball has some quirky rules.
Every time I think of overrunning first base, I think of Major League with Jake Taylor at the end running his helmet off on a bum body.
