High school baseball's rule clarification on what a legal slide is:
Quote:
Illegal slides
What is an illegal slide? An illegal slide occurs when a runner uses a rolling, cross-body or pop-up slide into the fielder; the runner’s raised leg is higher than the fielder’s knee when the fielder is in a standing position; the runner goes beyond the base and makes contact with or alters the play of the fielder; the runner slashes or kicks the fielder with either leg; or the runner tries to injure the infielder.

The NCAA went into even greater detail on force plays and this is more or less what's being used at every level of play outside of MLB now.
