  • Guide to Softball Rules and Basics
    Guide to Softball Rules and Basics History Softball was created by George Hancock in Chicago in 1887. The game originated as an indoor variation of baseball and was eventually converted to an outdoor game. The popularity of softball has grown considerably, both at the recreational and competitive levels. In fact, not only is women’s fast pitch softball a popular high school and college sport, it was recognized as an Olympic sport in 1996. Object of the Game To score more runs than the opposing team. The team with the most runs at the end of the game wins. Offense & Defense The primary objective of the offense is to score runs and avoid outs. The primary objective of the defense is to prevent runs and create outs. Offensive strategy A run is scored every time a base runner touches all four bases, in the sequence of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and home. To score a run, a batter must hit the ball into play and then run to circle the bases, counterclockwise. On offense, each time a player is at-bat, she attempts to get on base via hit or walk. A hit occurs when she hits the ball into the field of play and reaches 1st base before the defense throws the ball to the base, or gets an extra base (2nd, 3rd, or home) before being tagged out. A walk occurs when the pitcher throws four balls. It is rare that a hitter can round all the bases during her own at-bat; therefore, her strategy is often to get “on base” and advance during the next at-bat.

  • 2021 CMCBL 12/13 Rules
    2021 CMCBL 12/13 Rules All players present will be inserted into the batting lineup. There is no penalty if a player leaves the game because of sickness, injury or prior commitments. Late arriving players can be inserted into the bottom of the lineup. Teams will field 9 defensive players. Players should not sit out consecutive innings. Teams must have 8 players to start and finish a game. If teams are short prior to the game they may borrow players from another team, however those players may not pitch or catch. Pitching mound distance is 52’-54'. Bases are at 70'-75’. Bunting is allowed. Metals spikes are allowed. Baserunning is “open base”. Leading off and stealing are allowed, including home. A batter may advance to first base on a dropped 3rd strike (if first base is unoccupied or there are 2 outs). The infield fly rule is in effect. Games start at 6:30 and are scheduled for 6 innings; however no inning may start after 8:30PM. A mercy rule of 5 runs per inning is in effect for every inning except for the final inning, in which a team may score until the third out is recorded. The final inning must be declared before the start of the inning. Any inning that starts after 8:15pm (1 hour, 45 mins) should not use the 5-run per inning limit. If that inning is completed by 8:30pm the game should continue with another inning (unless 6 innings have already been completed). If the 5th inning starts before 8:15, but runs past 8:30, the game is complete even though the 5-run limit was in effect for the final inning.

  • This Article Will Discuss Umpire Coverage Responsibilities at Third Base in the NYSSO Two Umpire System
    This article will discuss umpire coverage responsibilities at third base in the NYSSO two umpire system. For whatever reason, it seems as if this bit of field coverage produces more problems than any other coverage area. The base umpire provides coverage in certain circumstances, while the plate umpire provides coverage in other circumstances. Initial and Second Play When the ball is hit in the infield the initial play at any base (1st, 2nd, 3rd) is always covered by the base umpire. Example: runners R1 at 1st base and R3 at 3rd base. Ground ball to the second baseman. The base umpire is responsible for the initial play, no matter if the second baseman chooses to throw to 1st, to 2nd, or to 3rd. If, in the above scenario, if R1 proceeds to 3rd, it becomes the plate umpire’s responsibility to cover 3rd: The plate umpire moves up the third base line (in anticipation of a possible play at 3rd). If there is no play then no call. But, if there is a play, the plate umpire should move into fair territory, let his partner know he is there, get into good calling position (at the action edge at 3rd), and make the call. (If the plate umpire does not get up to 3rd, it will be the base umpire’s call, however this should be very rare indeed.) When there are runners R1 on 1st and R2 on 2nd, coverage is very similar. When the initial throw goes to 1st, 2nd, or 3rd it is the base umpire’s call.

  • Cal Toffan-Baseball Focus and Drills
    Infield grounder work By Calvin Toffan Five Infield pillars: Areas of primary focus that we want to excel at. 1. Glove’s Barrel -this is the heart of your glove, the sweet spot -this is approximately at the Base of your index finger, it is the equivalent to a hitter’s Barrel -consistency Begins with accuracy -this is where the BaseBall needs to Be so that you can get the Baseball out of your glove quickly -this is for maximum efficiency 2. Lane Versatility -this is recognizing what path you will need to take to the baseball -basically to catch the ball, are you going to use two hands(luxury lane/speaks to feet), one hand(reaching lane, most range and versatility) or Backhand(reaction and distance cutting lane) -this is for maximum consistency 3. Hop Recognition -what type of hop is hit -Phase 1 is eyes to the side of the Ball with phase 2 Being the “Read and React”, is it a Big hop, short hop or a snake -this is in preparation for athleticism 4. Arm Slot Range -what type of throw will need to Be utilized -what type of posture will you need to execute the throw successfully -will you use a high slot, regular slot or low slot -this is primarily for versatility 5. Internal Clock -this is recognizing how much time you have according to the type of hop and speed that the BaseBall is hit -can you do a 4 step approach, 2 step approach or does it need to Be done on the run -this is primarily done for creativity Drills to foster the five infield pillars: Hop theme: One coach, 2 players, BaseBalls and 1 Bucket.
