Baserunning rule‼️Runners are protected when running through first base. They lose that protection when their actions show an intent to advance to second.
Intent is determined by the runners actions. Did the runner actually make a move toward 2nd? Did the runner change his/her path? Did the runner demonstrate an attempt to advance? Simply looking toward 2nd or turning your body doesn’t necessarily mean you attempted to advance.
This was such a subtle move by the runner not many would catch but great heads up by the catcher.
