New rule for Little League in 2017.
I read an article on the CBS News website about the new rules for Little League in 2017. They are:
1) Local leagues will have the option to force batters to keep one foot in the batter’s box during regular-season games.
2) Allow intentional walks by announcing the decision to the umpire rather than throwing four balls.
3) Umpires will also be able to eject a player and manager determined to be stealing signs.  What idiot on the LL Rules Committee thought of this rule change. Stealing signs is as old as the game. If a team's signs are being stolen by its opponent then it should do a better job of concealing them.
