What is the ruling if R1 at first misses second base and F6 collects the throw without making an appeal?

In this scenario, the ruling is that no call is made since the fielder, F6, did not appeal the missed base. In baseball, a player is only declared out for missing a base when the opposing team actively appeals the missed base. An appeal can occur in various forms, such as tagging the player or touching the missed base while the player is still on the base paths.

Since F6 collected the throw but did not take any action to appeal R1’s failure to touch second base, the umpire has no basis to call R1 out. The absence of an appeal means that R1 is still considered to be safe despite having missed the base. Therefore, the correct ruling is that no action is taken because the defensive team did not execute an appeal play. This reinforces the importance of understanding the rules regarding appeals in baseball and highlights that mere observation of a missed base does not automatically result in an out; action must be taken for the ruling to change.
