Diamond Defined: Touch To Wind-Up Position



From the 2006 book, The Official Rules of Baseball Illustrated, by David Nemec, I will present Rule 2 of the Code - the definitions of baseball terms - over the course of the 2012 baseball season. Today’s terms are: Touch, Triple Play, Wild Pitch, Wind-Up Position.

Touch – touch a player or umpire is to touch any part of her body, her clothing or her equipment.

Triple Play – a play by the defense in which three offensive players are put out as a result of continuous action, providing there is no error between putouts.

Wild Pitch – one so high, so low, or so wide of the plate that it cannot by handled with ordinary effort by the catcher.

Wind-Up Position – one of the two legal pitching positions.
