Can a runner jump over a player to avoid a tag in Ohio?
YES... a runner can jump over a fielder in any state ...
Opinions
It really also depends on the league as Little League, Cal Ripken Jr, Sandy Koffax, Babe Ruth and high school rules all state that a runner must "give himself up" to avoid a collision or slide. This is a rule implemented for the safety of amateurs, the only amateur league this rule does not apply is Legion Ball --- By jumping over a player you are putting not only yourself in harms way, but you are endangering the defender. This would be a judgment call for the umpire --- tigersy2k3

How much does a 100 mph baseball pitch slow down?
To actually calculate it exactly would take a lot of math. I don't have a container to measure the density of a baseball and the air temp where you are also depends on it. But, to give you the exact average 1 mph per 7 feet. If you are low sea level and very humid out as much as 1 mph per 6 feet. On a mountain or high altitude as low as 1 per 8 ft. So just say 1 mph per 7 feet. Hercules71185

Although Yastrzemski won in a landslide (275 votes to 161), one baseball writer gave one first-place vote to Cesar Tovar of the Minnesota Twins. I guess leading the league in batting average, home runs, RBIs, runs, slugging percentage, total bases, hits, and on-base percentage wasn't good enough for that voter.

Why is there always a day off between opening day and game number 2 in Major League Baseball?
As frustrating as it is, its all due to TV revenue. MLB is trying to maximize coverage of as many home openers being broadcast and available to as wide an audience as they can, as traditionally, just like stadiums are filled on Opening Day, TV ratings see a surge. That's why only a handful of games are played on the first real day of the season (not counting teams that play overseas), and then the remainder of the teams start on Day 2, with everyone back at it on Day 3. It is maddening though when your team starts on the first day after the long off-season, and then automatically has an off-day right away.
