Outfielder position/distance from batter
Does anyone know of an ORGANIZATION not a local league that has a restriction on how close the outfielders can be to the batter? Commonly I think its a Co-ed, or Senior thing.

Nope. Since NCAA & NFHS don't have coed games, it would never come up. I only see it as a local rule to prevent outfielders from all standing on the lip of the infield/outfield when weaker hitters come up. But I've never seen anything written in a book.

Consider this - no ruleset prevents a team from stationing ALL of it's players in the infield... or all of them but the pitcher in the outfield. The pitcher and catcher are required to be places - but everyone else is simply required to be in fair territory. You can create whatever defensive alignment you want. 4 infielders and 3 outfielders is traditional, and normal... but certainly not required. |
