2017 NFHS Rule Changes: - The baserunner is no longer required to touch each base in order.
- The pitcher is no longer allowed to take a step during the delivery and must pitch with both feet on the ground at the same time.
- The batter is given the privilege of calling for a low or high pitch. A pitch that is high, when the batter has called for a low pitch, and vice versa, shall be ruled a ball.
In case anyone is humor-impaired, these are actual 19th century baseball rules.
