batting from both sides of plate

[PeteBooth]

Since most fall leagues are pretty laid back, instructional, whatever you want to call it, if a batter was continuously swapping back and forth I would tell him to stop that nonsense and if his coach insisted there was no rule against it, ie condoning such nonsense,

As long as B1 is NOT delaying the game what do you care where he bats from.

Now if B1 his constantly delaying the game by requesting TIME so he can switch batter's boxes or taking his sweet time in doing so that is a "horse of a different color" but as long as B1 is not delaying the game I could care less.

Also, let's get real here. If b1 did do this how long before you see "chin music"

Issue came up in a fall league my son plays in? Umpire said it was not allowed - I do not know the rule so I am assuming he is correct. Just want to double check.

The Umpire doesn't know the rule either. Smitty.
