DNT, Please let us know which rules they/umps are told to follow at THAT showcase, rules du jour, that is just too funny!! Let us know, too, how many hoppers/leapers are there, which states are the biggest offenders, & how many college coaches actually want a hopper so they can spend countless hours trying to break them of the bad habit! It'll be interesting, thanks
Why wouldn't a coach recruit a leaper or hopper? They obviously don't have to worry about it being called at the college leve. Why should the college coaches spend countless hours trying to break them of the bad habit. You have already said no college ump calls IP anyway. Why spend all that precious practice time to correct something that will not be called. I am sure the coaches have better things to do with practice time (like teaching their runners to leave the base early)
