This happened a couple of days ago. Fed JV game. When runner was stealing the catcher would pull off her helmet as the pitch was approaching the plate, I guess to get a jump on the steal attempt. This happened a couple of times leading up to a point where pitcher was just releasing the ball and catcher had the helmet off and up in a semi crouch still behind the plate. After that one I talked to the coach about the safety issue and he set her straight.
My question is what, if any, rule would prevent her from doing this? 3-2-10 speaks of utilizing equipment properly. Maybe that one? The batter never attempted any swing or was even aware of the antics so I couldn't see the batter affected by catcher obstruction. Any ideas?
Gotta love JV.
