In baseball, blocking the plate is a technique performed by a catcher to prevent a runner from scoring. The act of blocking the plate accounted for most of the physical contact in Major League Baseball prior to the 2014 season, when it was outlawed except when the catcher already has possession of the ball.

  • In baseball, blocking the plate is a technique performed by a catcher to prevent a runner from scoring. The act of blocking the plate accounted for most of the physical contact in Major League Baseball prior to the 2014 season, when it was outlawed except when the catcher already has possession of the ball. By the rules of baseball, a runner has the right to an unobstructed path to a base. However, this right is not granted if the fielder guarding the base possesses the ball or is in the process of catching the ball. The fielders guarding the first base through the third base are unlikely to risk physical harm and will generally place themselves out of the path of the runner. The catcher guarding home plate, however, wears the padding and a face mask and often placed his body as an obstacle between the runner and home plate, even prior to receiving the ball. Since the runner did not have to worry about remaining on home plate, only tagging it, he typically ran at full speed in an effort to reach the plate. The speed of the runner combined with the fact that the catcher still had to tag him (unless the bases were loaded and a force play at home was still available) often resulted in collisions. Since the 1970 Major League Baseball All-Star Game, there have been rules established, mainly in amateur levels of baseball, against home plate collisions between runners and catchers to make the obstruction (defense) and interference (offense) rules consistent at the plate with the three bases. The rules, long enforced at lower levels, were implemented at the professional level in 2014. (en)
  • No beisebol, o bloqueio da plate (blocking the plate) é uma técnica comum executada por um receptor para impedir um corredor de anotar corrida. O ato de bloquear a plate presta conta da maior parte do contato físico no beisebol. Pelas regras do beisebol, um corredor tem o direito a um caminho desobstruído a uma base. Entretanto, este direito não é concedido se o defensor que guarda a base tiver a posse da bola ou estiver no processo de pegá-la. Os defensores que guardam da primeira à terceira base pouco provavelmente se arriscarão a um dano físico e vão se colocar, na maioria das vezes, fora do caminho do corredor. O receptor guardando a home plate, porém, usa acolchoamentos e uma máscara, e colocará freqüentemente seu corpo como um obstáculo entre o corredor e a home plate. Visto que o corredor não tem de preocupar-se com mais nada na home plate a não ser tocá-la, ele correrá a toda velocidade num esforço para consegui-la. A velocidade do corredor combinada com o fato de que o receptor ainda tem de forma uma jogada dramática. (pt)
