Which is why I prefer ASA!
But, back to the BOO, from an umpire's perspective, the difference is not a big deal - does an out made on the improper batter stand?
ASA - yes.
NFHS - no.
Not a biggie to remember or enforce.
First of all, there will not always BE an out made on the improper batter. And, secondly, the rest of the rule is identical in effect.
So, while the
result of the rule difference may have a significant impact on the game (or it may not), the differences between the
rules are not
radical - just one item to remember.
