6.8 and 12.20 are totally messed up if you ask me. The whole concept. What they have done is now do exactly what rules are meant to keep happening, and that is giving one team an advantage over the other.
Frequently, leaving the base early is a misstep in timing. Rather than just punishing the infraction, now, we are punishing potentially the offender and other player or two.
Furthermore, did the NCAA rule gurus consider the fact that many pitchers can change up their arm speed, or delivery style, in an attempt to fool the runners and gain multiple outs via this rule where in the past they would have just gotten one? This shows, IMO, a lack of foresight by the rule makers.
