About This Trend
Defensive interference (守備妨害) refers to a rule in baseball where a runner is called out for interfering with a fielder attempting to make a play.
The term is trending due to a controversial play in a recent SoftBank Hawks vs. Rakuten Eagles game, where a runner was hit by a ball, leading to an out but still resulting in a score, sparking debate among fans and analysts about the application of the rule. .
