Angels starting pitcher Matt Shoemaker grabbed the bunted ball and launched it to first base. The runner racing towards that base was rookie Raul Mondesi. It was his first career hit in the major leagues, which would grant him two RBI’s.
However, the question of this play was did the runner interfere with Shoemaker’s throw towards first? The ball grazed Mondesi’s leg as he approached first base. The Angels argued whether Mondesi was inside the line or not.
In the video shown below, it’s clear he wasn’t directly on the line.
