What happens when a player with an illegal glove is found to have advanced beyond the awarded base?

In the scenario where a player is found to have an illegal glove after advancing beyond the awarded base, the situation is treated with specific attention to the infraction and the player’s actions on the field. When the player has already advanced, the rule indicates that the infraction of having an illegal glove takes precedence but does not retroactively penalize the player once they have progressed beyond that base.

Thus, in this case, the player's action of reaching the next base is allowed to stand, meaning that the player remains on the base they reached. The infraction regarding the glove, while still applicable, does not lead to an immediate out or reset of the bases. The ruling allows the offense to continue its play as long as the player completed their advance before the infraction was acknowledged.

This approach aims to balance the enforcement of equipment rules while recognizing the flow of the game and not punishing players unduly when they have unknowingly committed an equipment violation. Therefore, the chosen response accurately reflects that the player's out stands, and the infraction is overlooked in this specific case.
