universal mechanic for strike three

[Tim C]

Your question is timely.

A week from Saturday I am responsible to help the State of Oregon Federation Umpire Committee develop a process to eliminate the "Eddings Action" issue of third strikes.

It is interesting that one major occurance can make a system that has been deemed sufficient for decades now need to be reviewed.

I will be interested in what our experienced umpires, that work games when players can run on uncaught third strikes, add to help develop a process for this play.

Good question!
