Most rule calls??????
Good evening,
I was just sitting here going over the 2007 NFHS rules and I was wondering besides balls and strikes and plays at any base what type of call do you see the most. I mean calls like interference, obstruction, pitching infractions, batting out of order. Calls that would make you reference the rule code. I hope I asked this question clearly. Thanks mike |

OK Mike,
Since my New Year's Resolution is to have NO ONE on my ignore list in 2007:
In order of importance to me: 1) Safe/Out 2) Fair/Foul 3) Ball/Strike 4) Balks 5) NFHS Re-entry 6) Batter Interference 7) FPSR 8) Catcher Interference 9) Fielder/Runner Contact (i.e. obstruction/interference) 10)Malicious Contact Dare I say: Since I have not had a "too dumb to bat in order" call in 15 years now I'll have at least two this year. I should add somewhere the new NFHS "going to the mouth" since it has been called one way (the easy way) for decades I will need to pay more attention.

There was a big discussion among the bigwigs in our state (I'm not one of them...but I was subsequently asked for my opinion by one of the bigwigs) about the following:
NFHS Rules apply: R1 and 0, 1 or 2 outs. What is the penalty for a pitcher, who while in contact with the rubber in the stretch position but prior to coming set (that is, for example, he's looking in to get the signs from the catcher) goes to his mouth with his non-glove hand? What is the penalty: ball or balk? I'll tell you what I concluded later. But from what I understand this became a very heated discussion between the different regional booking secretaries and the statewide league office. The statewide league office issued a directive as to what the penalty will be in our state...but a number of people don't agree with it. |

Regarding the "odd" calls- you see balks more often than the rest. Re-entry occurrs nearly every game, so you'll see the sub rule quite frequently. Last year i had 2 or 3 batter's int calls, 2 or 3 catcher's int calls, 1 maybe 2 int calls in the field, 1 maybe 2 obstruction calls, zero FPSR calls and zero malicious contact calls. REALLY rare ones i had this year- *Batted ball hit Base Umpire in C position *Fly ball, ball hits F8's mitt and pops up, R2 leaves bag, F8 then catches ball. (I had to correct my partner who forgot the rule and messed up the subsequent appeal) *Seen an aluminum bat break (no rule reference here, just thought it was noteable ![]() If you're asking this question to see which rules you need to "know better," you should learn them all. These things happen very rarely, but it's your job to know what to do when they happen. |

That reading would make it more of a complete thought, but has any umpire ever showed up for the managers, but not for the players? |
