  • Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test
    The “Baseball Rule” Faces an Interesting Test One of the many beauties of baseball, affectionately known as “America’s pastime,” is the ability for people to come to the stadium and become ingrained in the action and get the chance to interact with their heroes. Going to a baseball game, as opposed to going to most other sporting events, truly gives a fan the opportunity to take part in the action. However, this can come at a steep price as foul balls enter the stands at alarming speeds and occasionally strike spectators. According to a recent study, approximately 1,750 people get hurt each year by batted 1 balls at Major League Baseball (MLB) games, which adds up to twice every three games. The 2015 MLB season featured many serious incidents that shed light on the issue of 2 spectator protection. ​ This has led to heated debates among the media, fans, and even players and 3 managers as to what should be done to combat this issue. ​ Currently, there is a pending class action lawsuit against Major League Baseball (“MLB”).

  • Designated Hitters and Subesquent Team Scoring
    DESIGNATED HITTERS AND SUBESQUENT TEAM SCORING PERFORMANCE IN MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL A RESEARCH PAPER SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF SCIENCE BY SARAH E. CHO DR. HOLMES FINCH – ADVISOR BALL STATE UNIVERSITY MUNCIE, INDIANA JULY 2020 2 ABSTRACT RESEARCH PAPER: Designated Hitters and Subsequent Team Scoring Performance in Major League Baseball STUDENT: Sarah E. Cho DEGREE: Master of Science COLLEGE: Teachers College DATE: July 2020 PAGES: 27 The Designated Hitter (DH) rule in Major League Baseball (MLB) is a topic of great debate. In the National League (NL), all players take a turn at bat. However, in the American League (AL), a DH usually bats for the pitcher. MLB pitchers typically do not have strong batting averages. The DH rule was created to increase a team’s offense. This study looked at whether there is an apparent difference between the AL and the NL. In theory, a DH will lead to more hits, more runs, and therefore a higher scoring game. This study looked at the average runs per game and total home runs for the AL and NL during the 1998 through 2018 regular seasons. Since the assumptions of parametric multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) were not met, a nonparametric analysis was used. The permutation test for multivariate means results showed an apparent difference between the two leagues (p < .05). A quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) was used as a follow up test and showed home runs as the variable driving the difference between the two leagues. Therefore, the AL has better scoring performance than the NL.

  • Common Baseball Rule Myths
    Common Baseball Rule Myths Rob Winter CRLL Chief Umpire Many misunderstandings on the field are the result of “Everybody Knows That...” rules myths. Listed below are a collection of common misbeliefs about Little League baseball and softball rules. Each of these statements are FALSE. If you have any questions, please contact CRLL's Chief Umpire at [email protected] Myth #1 A pitch that bounces to the plate cannot be hit. A pitch is a ball delivered to the batter by the pitcher. It doesn't matter how it gets to the batter. The batter may hit any pitch that is thrown. Rule: 2.00 PITCH. (If the ball does not cross the foul line, it is not a pitch.) Myth #2 The batter does not get first base if hit by a pitch after it bounces. A pitch is a ball delivered to the batter by the pitcher. It doesn't matter how it gets to the batter. If the batter is hit by a pitch while attempting to avoid it, he is awarded first base. Rules: 2.00 PITCH, 6.08(b). Myth #3 The hands are considered part of the bat. The hands are part of a person's body. If a pitch hits the batter's hands the ball is dead; if he swung at the pitch, a strike is called (NOT a foul). If he was avoiding the pitch, he is awarded first base. Rules: 2.00 PERSON, TOUCH, STRIKE (e) and 6.05(f) Official Baseball Rules. Myth #4 If the batter breaks his wrists when swinging, its a strike.

Sports Law, Volume 16, Issue 1 I. INTRODUCTION One of the biggest changes to Major League Baseball (MLB), in the modern era, is the expansion of its protective screening. As of 2015, all MLB ball clubs had “no more than the standard, behind-the-plate netting in their ballparks.”1 That all changed when a little girl got hit in the head by a 105 mile-per-hour foul ball while attending a New York Yankees game.2 As a result, the little girl suffered a fractured scull and was hospitalized for six days.3 Today, the little girl has to “wear an eye patch for five hours over her non-injured eye to help the weaker side recover from the hit.”4 Out of all the foul balls that came before, this incident was the tipping point that made a change to MLB’s protective screening.5 This occurrence was so devastating to everyone at the ballpark.

  • GHSA Special Considerations and Baseball Rule Modifications
    GHSA Special Considerations and Baseball Rule Modifications The considerations outlined in this document are meant to decrease potential exposure to respiratory droplets by encouraging social distancing, limiting participation in administrative tasks to essential personnel and allowing for appropriate protective equipment during practice and competition. 1. Host School Responsibility • Schools shall sanitize facility, press box, dugouts, and spectator area between games. • Schools shall provide hand sanitizer for both schools (in dugout) and umpires. • The use of face mask/covering is highly recommended for all spectators. • Schools shall enforce social distancing requirements in spectator areas and facility entrances. 2. Player Equipment • Face mask/coverings are recommended, but not mandatory. If worn it may have a school logo and all masks shall match. If a school logo is not used the mask must be a single color, without logos or lettering. Pitchers shall not wear a facial mask that is any tint of white or grey. • Face Shields are permitted to be plastic shields if they are integrated into the fielding face mask, catching helmet, or batting helmet. The face shield shall be clear without tint. • Players shall use their own gloves, helmets, and bats as much as possible. • Players shall use their own water/beverage bottles (sharing these items is prohibited). • Sunflower seeds are prohibited in the dugout and on the field. • Player/team equipment shall be sanitized before and after each practice/game. • The host schools shall provide enough baseballs (NFHS Approved) that allow for sanitation of the game balls before they return to play. a. If a game ball goes out of play, it should be returned to host dugout to be sanitized before putting back in play.
