one of the proposed rule changes requires the UIC for a JO "B" National to carry a radar gun and periodically check the pitcher's speed to make sure the "B" pitchers aren't throwing the ball too fast...., changing the 10U rules to include a runner to score anytime the BR was awarded 1B with the bases loaded.

"B" status is not determined by "talent" level. Last time I checked with A, B, or C levels in Fastpitch softball the talent level never came to the table it was weather or not the team was "selected", "regional all-star team" or a "local" all-STAR team. True or False? Any chance that the individual that recommended this rule had his daughters team get beaten this past summer by a really "fast" pitcher in a "B" level game? Ok it has been awhile since I did any 10 & Under but I have to ask......When bases were loaded in the past and the BR walked or was awarded first base....did the runner that was at third just sorta....disappear?
Really don't think anyone needs to worry about this one passing.
