This came up in our scrimmage yesterday.
If you have runners on and there is a line drive to the pitcher, can the runners advance as soon as he/she catches the ball, or is play automatically dead because the pitcher has the ball on the mound?

Play is dead if pitcher stays on mound. If pitcher goes to play the ball by moving off mound, then play is not dead. |

I figure he was out either way, if the runner was in motion before the catch there was no tag up, and if not the above rule applies.
Only way out of it might have been if the pitcher didnt catch the ball cleanly, in which case the runner can go as soon as he touched it and then would have been in motion before the pitcher had the ball on the mound.
