WHY DOES MLB HAVE A REGULATION THAT PROTECTS AGAINST CATCHERS FROM OBSTRUCTING HOME PLATE? To stop injuries that can arise from crashes in between base runners as well as catchers. In 2014, MLB put in a policy meant to eliminate avoidable collisions at residence plate.

At the same time, catchers occasionally transfer to alter the runner's anticipated course to home plate. Catchers can lawfully stand in fair region before home plate without property of the round. But they can be called for an offense if they don't have the ball and also set up in foul area, straddle the foul line or home base, or have a foot on the plate or the foul line. There are additionally exemptions to where catchers are positioned if they have to transfer to take an inbound toss or are not able to develop themselves before home plate on a promptly establishing play, such as a wild pitch or hard-hit ball to a drawn-in infielder.
