My convictions, and I truly believe all rule books would support killing this play. (Even if you find one that does not, in this matter, I do not care.)
It is a matter of safety. I have seen what damage a batted ball can do to a player that is ready let alone one who has no idea what may be coming.
I would take it one step further and be willing to tell you if a coach came out to give me grief or complain over it, I would not "play" with him any longer. I would do the same for his players.
This is a game for Pete's sake and absolutely no argument given to me can make it potentially a situation of life and death if I have any input into it.
