Most significant change....32 pages less than the 2012 manual.

Seriously, they removed Sec. 2 from last year's edition and edited and moved some topics to different sections for the 2013 edition.

None of the 2013 mechanic changes affecting BU's; elimination of caught 3K signal, not echoing PU infield fly call, along with the change (for both PU&BU) on check swing responsibilities, made it into this year's manual; but have been discussed here on the Forum and appear in writing (except the IF mechanic) in the National Coordinator Notes section on the SUP website.
