2023 NFHS Survey is out

[Agcy]

What's a bat sensor?

Electronic disc on the bottom of the bat that captures the motion of the bat for analysis.

Look up Blast Bat Sensor or Diamond Kinetics.

I guess the rules forum is the best place to post this. It is for coaches and officials, but it always provides insight into what bees are in their bonnets for next year ...

First section asks about satisfaction with the 2022-23 rules changes (I'm going to abbreviate these, Yes/No answers):

1.) Removing the number of color restrictions on a glove YES
2.) Clarifying the ball's status (fair/foul) is determined at the point of interference
3.) Removing language prohibiting the wearing of jewelry YES
4.) Allowing all runs to score on a walk-off homerun YES
5.) Clarifying when a batter-runner is out if there is interference on an initial play YES

Second section asks "Have you seen any of these things this year?" (Never, Rarely, Frequently, Almost always)
1.) Infielders wearing head/face protection FREQUENTLY
2.) Questions about drying agents transferring to the ball NEVER
3.) Players using smartwatches for communication outside the dugout NEVER
4.) Umpires unsure of malicious contact versus interference NEVER
5.) Players wearing a wristband with playbook/playcard attached to their belt instead of their arm or wrist FREQUENTLY

Third section on topics for 2023-24; Would you favor ... (Yes/No answers)
1.) Permitting bat sensors YES
2.) Permitting leaping YES
3.) Allowing one way electronic communication from the coach to infielders NO
4.) Requiring wristbands with playcards to be worn on the wrist (not allowing them on the belt) YES

That is like grading my student's papers. You need to use CLAIM, EVIDENCE, REASON and explain your answers @HasBeenorNeverWas ! Simply saying "I agree" does not cut it.
