Let me add my welcome Candyman.............

And also Candyman.........as long as the signal giver is not a rostered/uniformed coach..........

ASA 5-12 does not allow a coach to be out of the dugout unless approved from the umpire..........grin

We had a situation this year where the batting coach (allegedly) was behind the backstop coaching each batter...........the TD decided that since she was not a rostered coach it was allowed..............

THAT was until she stepped onto the field to question a call..........once she did that.........the TD considered her a coach and would not allow her behind the backstop............grin
