    Catcher positioning

    That is all I could find too. He said they had to stay between the batter's boxes.

    Catcher positioning

    I recently had an umpire instruct my catcher she was too far over in the catcher's box. We were trying to intentionally walk a batter and she was positioned all the way over in the catcher's box. Is the catcher not allowed to be anywhere within the box? This is USSSA and I looked but I...

    stickers

    I have used helmet stickers for years from 10-16U. The girls absolutely love them. As long as you do it right it won't become a joke. You have to know the level of your team and come up with some rules that match that level. When we were 10 we got stickers for alot of basic things. By the...

    Is there a rule in ASA, USSSA or NSA regarding artificial noise makers?

    Legal position in the batter's box

    Thanks guys. I thought that was the rule. The umpire told me it didn't matter unless the girl hit the ball. The girl had at least 3/4 of her foot out of the back of the box. I told him I was concerned about my catcher's safety, but he didn't deem to care too much.

    Legal position in the batter's box

    Quick question for you umpires out there. Is there a legal requirement for where the batter must be before the pitch can be thrown in USSSA? More specifically do both feet have to be COMPLETELY in the box in order for the batter to be legally in the box before the pitch is thrown?

    Illegal Substitution

    That's what I thought. However, the runner was allowed to be put back on 1B. I knew that wasn't right, thanks guys. Now to confuse the situation a little, #7 wasn't even on the lineup card. Now that is an Illegal substitution, correct? And the penalty for that is?

    My First Ejection

    Contact is not needed for obstruction.
  14. Q

    Illegal Substitution

    USSSA rules... #11 hits reaches first and is pinch ran for by #7. Inning ends. #11 goes back out on defense the next half inning without being reported. First batter up hits a ball to #11 and she fields it and throws the batter out at 1B. What is the penalty, if any?

    Batting out of order?

    So, if it was a fair ball would that make a difference?
  16. Q

    Batting out of order?

    R1 at 3B. Pop-up hit into foul territory R1 collides with F5, who is trying to make a play on the ball. Girl is called out for interference. Which was the third out of the inning. Next inning, the same batter comes to the plate. Is that correct or should have the next batter been the legal...

    Correction of incorrect call

    Well, I am NOT an umpire and I firmly believe that an umpire has NEVER cost my team a game. I have been coaching for 8 years and every year I pound into the girls that we can't control the umpire, weather, or luck. If we didn't get a hit every ay bat there is ALWAYS something we could have...

    Injured no subs

    Batter is hit by a pitch. She is injured and can't go to 1B. The batting team has no subs. Is a pinch runner allowed? Is the girl allowed to re-enter? USSSA line up rules. Thanks.

    Not true. You no longer have to make an attempt to get out of the way.
