NFHS 3' Lane Presentation
Attended a HS clinic and the 3' lane presentation just rubbed me the wrong way and it wasn't the #?&@$ interpretation concerning INT on a walk.
The presentation, including overhead display, stressed that the BR is required to run in the 3' lane the last half of the distance to 1B. Even highlighted the word MUST on the screen as in the runner MUST run in the 3' lane.
This just is not true in any level of softball or baseball of which I am familiar. At no point is a runner ever REQUIRED to run in the 3' lane. The 3' lane only provides a safe haven path to 1B the runner may utilize to avoid an interference violation.
