Our local LL failed to recognize the rule changes adopted last year, one of which being that in the Majors, baserunners can leave on release.
My question- I'm questioning whether or not we should adopt this rule. I know in ASA "A" ball you can leave on release but this is not an "A" league. The rule has been that runners had to wait till the pitched ball reaches the plate, and we have a TON of stolen bases! my thought is that if we leave on release it will get ridiculous.
I would like to ask the other LL coaches out there how this rule change affected play last spring. Was it a good thing, bad thing or not a significant factor.
thanks.
