Most misunderstood rule(s) by coaches:
1. They think the hands are a part of the bat when a batter gets hit there thus making it in play or a foul ball depending on where it ends up.
2. They think the runner has the right to the "base path" when the fielder is in the process of fielding the ball.
3. They think a third to first pick-off is a balk.
4. They think runners have to slide at home plate no matter what, even if the catcher catches the ball 10 feet up the line and tags the kid coming around third out, they say he still has to slide and needs to be objected.
5. They think the players can't touch a player before he touches home plate when he hits a home run.
6. They think if the catcher catches the ball good, it's a strike...no matter if he is set up a foot outside.
Alright, I'm just complaining now so I'll stop.
