Hmmm,
In Oregon we are required to report all ejections within 24 hours. All ejections carry an additional one game suspension (appealable).
In high school baseball last year there were 96 ejections across all levels of high school baseball statewide. 41 of those ejections were for Malicious Contact.
Over 60% of the ejections occurred at the sub-varsity level. 9 forfeits were documented, all at the sub-varsity level, when teams did not have an ASEP certified coach to take over after a coach ejection.
Of the 96 ejections 41 were appealed for "special considerations". All appeals were tied to cutting the game suspension for the player/coach or to lower or eliminate the fine for the ejection.
20 appeals were granted by the Oregon School Activities Association. Neither of the player ejections that occurred during playoffs were successfully appealed.
Oregon is serious about reporting ejections.
