A bunt or attempt to bunt is not allowed at any time; batter is out. Runner may not lose contact with the base until the ball reaches the batter. Both feet must be on top of the pitcher's plate; One foot must be in contact with pitcher's plate until ball is actually left the pitcher hand (no drag allowed) The pitch shall be delivered on the first forward swing of the pitching arm. Batter's box shall be 3X5; 2' forward & 3' to the rear of the center of the plate. No team could start or continue a game with less than 10 players; game is forfeited. The bat shall be made of wood. Substitute pitcher must pitch to one batter. Batter is out immediately after three strikes are called (no 3rd strike rule). Runner on 3B may only score on a batted ball, a play made on himself or the catcher returns the ball to anyone other than the pitcher. The addition of the LBR is a basically recent addition to the game to control the antics of the sly coaches and players. The game evolves and it is my belief there is a better way to handle these antics other than ruling a runner out. Can you imagine the game today if the pitcher was not allowed to drag away from the PP or the batter wasn't even allowed to attempt to bunt? The LBR is no more "part of the game" than many of the other parts and even less so than many. |
