Proposed ASA Rule Changes #1

[Stat-Man]

Strike Mat - A 19X34.5 mat to be placed over the plate. And ball which strikes the mat is a strike. Is this for all SP?

(SP only) Base on Balls – Change a walk to 3 balls instead of 4 for a walk.
Change SP dimensions of bases and PP to 70’ & 53’, respectively
Add a second HP for Coed ball.

for all 3 of the above: Why?

Establish a pitcher’s box for SP Is this like the new NCAA FP box? If so, I don't like that idea.

Change the maximum height for SP pitch to 10’ *shrugs* No real opinion either way.

SP – batter assumes a 1-1 count when they enter the batter’s box. Why not just change to a 3-2 count?

In SP under “The batter is out” After a second strike, excluding a foul ball that is hit after one strike”. So much for speeding up games.
