Re: Dumb Rule
AFA has used it for years. This is probably where most
of this is coming from. Bandit is correct, "they call
it a safety thing" and for reasons he stated. Most of
the teams playing ASA play AFA also. AFA is growing.
It is not however, a written rule. I cannot find it in
rule book. But it is always discussed at the pre game
coference and handouts to coaches with any other changes
for tournament taking place.
Have never had the situtation happen that Scott described,
but agree with all that it now the defense teams job to
properly secure the bat.
AFA adpoted the NCAA rule book and they certainly do not
require on-deck batter to be behind batter.
