However, the other three are going to be hard to enforce because two insist on the batter being directed by the umpire to the box when in fact, the umpire just directed them out away from the box. The third is only in effect AFTER the batter has entered the box and the umpire has forbidden that to happen. Actually, the only "official" remedy an ASA umpire has is found in 5.4 (forfeit) and I believe that may be a bit extreme in the beginning. ... snip ... Mike

I believe the above is the reality of the strike calling issue and negates the possibility, at least for ASA and NFHS.

I have always been taught that we should just say the player "can not play with jewelry" rather than "Have this jewelry removed"; because that is the rule and we are not authorized to tell anyone what they can wear when not playing. There is also some possibility of "injury" while removing the item, and we don't want to start any more nonsense lawsuits.
