    Interference?

    NFHS R2 Batted ground ball deflects off F5’s ankle. F6 has a play on the deflected ball but R2 collides with her. ‘Is this interference on the runner?

    Interesting Play

    Here is one which, it turns out, I only got half right. Varsity game played under USA rules which I am doing solo. R1 and R2. 1 out. Batter hits a shot to right and both runners take off. No catch. R2 reaches 3rd and--- for some strange reason--decides to run back to second base and in doing so...

    Productive Showcase

    Home - Fastpitch Nation When I coached a travel team in Queens NY a local college coach recommended this showcase ( the one in January) as an very authentic venue where many coaches actually recruit from. I sent 4 of my players there and all received offeres from D2 and D3 schools. Just passing...

    I stand corrected

    The thread on terrible umpires got me thinking and I tightened up my strike zone in my last 2 Varsity and a low level 12U recreational game. No only did it make my job a lot easier but I noticed no real difference in the pace of the games. (Then again in all three games both teams were very...

    Illegal Pitch

    First and 3rd. Batter is struck with an illegal pitch but is in the strike zone when hit. What is the call in ASA??? Fed??? The ASA book mentions what happens when the pitch is not in the strike zone, but not vice versa. I was wondering if R3 is granted home in this situation.

    Running Bunt

    If a batter fouls off a pitch with 2 strikes while attempting a slap bunt is she out?? It is when she gets a running start before tapping the ball. A.S.A. and Fed ruleset.

    Obstruction Question

    Today I was the coach of an 18U team and had third base. Fed rules. My runner is stealing 3rd and the throw come in close, but gets past F 5. The ball bounces off the fence and winds up in shallow left field. I try to send my runner in to score, but F5 is laying on top of her--which lasted for...

    Thrown Glove with Ball.

    Ground ball to F1. She catches the ball and throws her glove--which contains the ball--for an out. I know that this is not legal in HS baseball, but is it permissible in HS softball??
