ball hits on deck equipment
what is the rule when an overthrown ball hits equipment that is left on the on-deck area? (bats, donuts, helmets) what if the throw hits coaches sitting on chairs or buckets outside of a dugout? does this rule differ between fed, ncaa, pro?

We don't allow buckets or chairs outside of dugouts in our summer ball season this year. First game was Saturday, and during pregame we told them about the directive, they looked puzzled but didn't use the buckets.

If it is the offense that left the equipment out, and that object prevented the ball from going into DBT, you do not award bases or kill the ball. The offense is prohibited from leaving equipment laying on the field. Rule 3.14.

See FED CB 1.3.7, Situations A and B. Also see page 184 of the 2004 edition of J/R, which makes no distinction between offense or defense - "However, if a ball strikes a piece of equipment that is on LBT (usually the lip or top step of a dugout), and such ball would have entered DBT absent the contact with such equipment, then the ball is considered to have entered DBT." |
