Just to clarify-the picther clearly was not "pitching." I would define it has a
"pitch out." The pitcher, in a relaxed manner (not his normal windup), threw
the ball to the catcher who was far to the outside (in the LH batters box,) when
he caught the ball. There was no intent to throw a strike or a hitable pitch,
he was just trying to get the ball to the catcher.

There was no doubt this was an appeal attempt since the coach said that was his
intention and the catcher verbally stated "the last runner did not touch the
plate" after he received the ball from the pitcher and then he stepped on home
plate.
