Well, I didn't say "slightly."
I wear a mask not because I can't get out of the way (sometimes I probably could, sometime I surely couldn't, but then I'm not 16U!) but so I don't have to try and because I'm not into broken noses, eye-sockets, or skulls.
16U / 18U equivalent is the main focus of NFHS, no?
But, I was just wanting further clarification on this exerpt from the clarification letter posted from NFHS:
Quote:
1. If the ball moves DIRECTLY to the catcher's glove/mitt or hands, ...
2. If the ball moves DIRECTLY to the catcher's equipment or person...
3. If there is any perceptible arc to the flight of the ball (it is not traveling directly to the catcher)...

This seems to define "not traveling directly" as "perceptable arc".
Simple question: is this how NFHS wants this called?
Or, is there still the possiblity (which I actually see sometimes with a good catcher) of a catcher making a play on a batted ball with no perceptable arc?
