Probably not, considering the runner is already at first base.

The thing is, we don't have much gameplay video to go off of. The one thing that will concern me about this game is if they can get their X's and O's right. I understand that's a football term, but if that makes sense, I feel it's important that gameplay concerns are addressed this way.
You must not remember the days when the third baseman wouldn't crash on bunts or the pitcher would cut off throws from the outfield, there were no crow-hops or pre-loaded throws, inside-outing a ball can induce 450 foot shots, broken double-switches, throws in the dirt didn't exist, power swings meant a ball would be lifted in the air 90% of the time, etc. They didn't have the game of baseball right, and even with the way that they have the swinging control scheme all quirky, it raises questions about their baseball intellects working on this game and how it is the manage the ins and outs of it.
Well, this is yet another example. Yes, they have the catcher having started down the line, but on an overthrow not only is he useless (since the first baseman will get to the ball before him), but the runner will be able to make it to second as well. Yes, I consider this an issue. I don't know why somebody would not consider this an issue.
And my point is that while there are no discrete gameplay videos to go off of, I can only do things like rationalize how gameplay is based on screenshots. I did it here (as you may call in a "negative light"), and I've done it before as well (in places you may consider "positive"). I'm not trying to bash the game, I'm just pointing out yet another facet that may not be working properly.
Oh, and I'm calm. This game just has a long way to go.
