Kansas or Kentucky NFHS Umpires.
 

Last week, in a NFHS Facebook group there was a ongoing discussion regarding a Special Rule adopted by either Kansas or Kentucky. I can't find the discussion nor can I remember if this State was my birth state, the great State of Kansas or of the State was Kentucky. That said.....

The Rule adopted was that F3 and F5 had to wear a mask. AND that F2, F3, and F5 could not remove their masks to field a Batted Ball.

I would appreciate it umpires from the State involved would enlighten the Forum about the Special Rule.

Thanks,

This does not sound like KS ("F3 and F5 had to wear a mask"), but I am inquiring up the food chain to be sure. Sometimes new directives like this take a while to filter down. Wuh-chee-ta here. :)

(Later) As I thought, not KS.

Kentucky has required them for a few years.

Seems strange for F2 required to keep mask on.
Not to mention this year's detached rule change.

I would like some one to post the Kentucky rules interpretations in which one of the specified plauers (catcher, Infielder, or pitcher) removes her mask. Thanks.
