Do you have a video link to an example of this by chance? I'm having trouble visualizing the bouncing effect you describe.

- huffmsa 7y agoWatch a slow motion punch or other collision. At high speeds, the colliding surfaces will often deform faster than they're colliding and / or there is a slight rebound which separates them for a tiny, imperceptible amount of time, but you can see it on high speed camera.
- slg 7y agoMLB posts a ton of video to Youtube, but the descriptions on those videos are rather minimal. That makes it hard to find a perfect example without combing through hundreds of videos, but this one is close [1]. The call here was more a problem with the transfer from sliding to standing, but his front leg does the "bounce" I was talking about that is hard to notice in the real-time replay at 30 seconds but is obvious in the slow motion replay at 60 seconds. Regardless of whether the problem is the bounce or the transfer, this player clearly "beat" the tag which is in my opinion the spirit of the rule. He would have likely been called safe for 100+ years of baseball history. Yet with video review, he is clearly out based on the letter of the rule.
