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.
Sounds like ball 1 to me. What if the "pitch out" was a little closer and B1 hit a home run. Were there still other runners on base. Don't bail out a poorly coached team with an out call here.
