I just want to conclude by saying thanks..

You guys have been great and I hope you will in the future help me with further clarifications.

Although the link to the rules was great and I was able to follow your explanations right along with the official rules.


Also are any of these ruling different in Little league, high school, or college baseball?

Yes, yes, and yes.

Little League bases the majority of the rules on OBR (pro) rules. There are many modifications, but the code is basically the same. Safety issues, pitching regulations, etc. are modified.

High School uses NFHS, or National Federation of High School Associations rules. This is what we shorten to FED, short for Federation. These rules differ significantly in many areas, and are dummied down so as to be supposedly easier to enforce on a wide scale. www.nfhs.org

NCAA and NAIA have their own rules too. Google search NCAA Baseball Rules and you can get the rules on .pdf format.

Here is a link to some common myths and misconceptions about the rules. Enjoy.

NAIA uses the OBR with modifications.
