guarding home plate on plays in which a baserunner attempts to score a run. the catcher is often obliged to catch a ball thrown from a fielder and to tag out a runner arriving from third base. naturally, the runner's objective, in this situation, is to elude the catcher's tag and touch the plate. prior to 2014, the catcher's best strategy was to block the runner's path so as to prevent the runner from reaching the plate at all. collisions between runners and catchers were common. since the start of the 2014 season, a catcher may only obstruct a runner's path to home plate when he, the catcher, is in possession of the ball. without the ball in hand, the catcher must allow the runner to score uncontested. if the catcher drops the ball while tagging the runner, the runner is safe. although contact between a runner and a catcher was generally allowed in the major leagues until the beginning of the 2014 season, little league, high school, and college runners are encouraged or mandated to avoid significant contact.
