A youth fielder assigned to catch fly balls during Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby on 15 July briefly prevented Tampa Bay Rays prospect Junior Caminero from registering a home run when the youngster leapt and caught the ball just inside the fence. Event officials reviewed the play and ultimately credited Caminero with the homer, ruling that the ball would have cleared the wall had it not been intercepted. The incident, which occurred during the competition’s final round, drew immediate attention because active fielders are expected to allow any ball headed over the fence to land untouched.
