CIF-SS BASEBALL ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Over the years, the CIF-SS Office has worked with the concept of establishing committees in all of the 25 sports for boys and girls, and the success of this program is being continued into the 2017/18 school year. The role of the advisory committee, which is comprised of coaches in the respective sport and an administrator from the CIF-SS Office, may or may not include the following: 1. Meetings 2. Recommendations for playoff sites 3. Recommendations for rules and procedural changes 4. Evaluation of sport season 5. Assistance to coaches and/or officials organizations 6. Liaison between coaches and/or officials organizations

We urge that if you have suggestions or questions, make use of this excellent channel of communication and pass the information along to one of the committee members. We will be meeting on a regular basis during the current baseball season and your items will become part of our agenda.

CIF SOUTHERN SECTION BASEBALL GUIDELINES

Following are key points of emphasis baseball coaches should review with their staffs and players in reference to CIF Southern Section rules and regulations as set down in the Blue Book. This list is NOT all-inclusive but only highlights some key areas.

1500. PITCHING LIMITATION RULE – 30 OUTS

Sections shall adopt the following baseball pitching limitation rule: 30 outs and/or three (3) appearances in a calendar week through the season.

A. The calendar week begins on Monday. B. Innings pitched in a no game (i.e., rainout, power failure, etc.) shall count toward the total. C. If the 30th out involves a double or triple play, the team will not be penalized. D. An appearance is defined as a pitcher pitching at least one (1) pitch. If a pitcher is removed from the mound to another position or to the dugout and later returns to pitch in the same game, the pitcher will be charged with a second appearance. E. Any violation constitutes a forfeit of the contest.

1501. PITCHING LIMITATION RULE – PITCH COUNT In addition to 1500 above, Sections shall adopt the following baseball pitching limitation rule with respect to pitch count and required days of rest:

Pitch count limits and required rest: Level Maximum 0 Days 1 Day 2 Days 3 Days Contest Rest Rest Rest Rest Pitch Limit Required Required Required Required Varsity 110 1-30 31-50 51-75 76+ Pitches Pitches Pitches Pitches Pitches Freshman; 90 1-30 31-50 51-75 76+ F/S; JV Pitches Pitches Pitches Pitches Pitches

A. A pitcher may finish the current batter if the Maximum Contest Pitch Limit is reached during that at-bat. B. Pitches thrown and appearances made in a no game (i.e., rainout, power failure, etc.) shall count toward the totals. C. At the end of each half inning, the head coaches will confirm and both team books will record the pitch count for all pitchers who threw a pitch in that half inning. In the case of a discrepancy, the home book is considered the official book. D. Each school must keep a record of all pitches thrown by each of their players in each game and make this available to their respective Section Office upon request. E. Any violation constitutes a forfeit of the contest.

Questions & Answers:

Q: If a pitch count mechanism is used that is visible to both teams, do the coaches still need to confirm the pitch count every half inning? A: No. If the mechanism (i.e. scoreboard add-on, flip chart behind home plate, etc.) can be seen by both teams, the coaches may use that as verification of the pitch count. Q: How is a day of rest defined? A: A day of rest is defined as a calendar day. For example, if a pitcher throws 76 or more pitches in a Monday game thus requiring three-days rest before being allowed to pitch again, those days of rest would be Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday allowing that pitcher to pitch again on Friday.

Q: If a pitcher exceeds the maximum number of allowable pitches with respect to the required days of rest while finishing a batter, how are the required number of rest days calculated? A: The required days of rest is determined by the actual number of pitches thrown. For example, if a pitcher starts a batter with 48 pitches, finishes the batter with 53 pitches and is then removed from the game, that pitcher would be required to rest for two days before making another appearance.

Q: What, if any role, do the umpires play in the confirmation and recording of the pitch count after each half inning? A: The umpires are asked to ensure that the teams are exchanging the required information but the actual recording of the pitch count is up to the head coach from each school.

Q: If an intentional walk is issued to the batter and no pitches are delivered to home plate, are those pitches counted towards the pitcher’s total number? A: No. Those pitches would not count towards the pitcher’s total number

Q: In the case of balk, when does a pitch count towards the pitcher’s total number? A: A pitch would only count if the ball is delivered to the batter.

Q: If a batter is awarded timeout by the umpire but the pitcher still delivers the ball to the batter, does that pitch count towards the pitcher’s total number? A: No. That pitch would not count towards the pitcher’s total number.

Q: Does the Pitch Count reset each Monday like the 30 Out Rule? A: No. While the 30 Out Rule will reset each Monday, the Pitch Count Rule will not. For example, if a pitcher throws 76+ pitches in a game on Saturday, they would have to rest on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday before being eligible to pitch again on Wednesday.

Q: May the same pitcher appear in two different games on the same day? A: Yes. However, they may only do so if they threw 30 pitches or less in the first game and are not required to rest. Also, they may not throw more than 110 pitches total for the day.

Q: What is the protest protocol for a possible violation of the pitch count Bylaw? A: A school wishing to protest should follow the normal protocol of immediately informing the umpire that it is playing the game under protest. The contest will continue and the protest will be forwarded to the local league and/or CIF Section Office for review depending on the protocols in place for handling protests in that Section.

Q: Does the above protocol preclude the Section from assessing a forfeiture for a violation of the pitch count Byllaw that is brought to them after the competition of the contest? A; No. The above protocol simply outlines how a dispute is to be handled during a contest.

Q: Do pitches thrown and appearances made in an incomplete inning during a suspended game count towards the totals? A; Yes.

15012. OFFICIAL NATIONAL FEDERATION AUTHENTICATION MARK Only balls with the National Federation authentication mark shall be used in the sports of baseball, basketball, field hockey, football, lacrosse, soccer, softball, volleyball and water polo. (Revised to include lacrosse November 2000 Federated Council)

TO: PRINCIPALS ATHLETIC DIRECTORS HEAD BASEBALL COACHES

FROM: GLENN MARTINEZ, ASSISTANT COMMISSIONER

SUBJECT: NFHS AUTHENTICATING MARK PROGRAM (AMP)

DATE: JANUARY 30, 2019

As we approach the beginning of the 2019 baseball season, I want to remind you of the relevant rule regarding the NFHS Authenticating Mark that is required on all baseballs that will be used in high school competition at all levels (NFHS Rule 1-3-1).

All umpires in the CIF Southern Section have been instructed to examine all baseball provided by the home team to make sure that they have the required NFHS Authenticating Mark. If they do not, then the game will not be played and the home team responsible for supplying the baseball will forfeit this contest. Umpires have also been instructed to report this incident to the CIF Southern Section office. It has been brought to our attention that some major sporting goods dealers in Southern California are not selling the required baseballs. Only certified baseballs with the NFHS Authenticating Mark from the different manufactures (Rawlings, Diamond, Wilson, Spalding, Baden, and others) should be used (see picture below). I remind you that baseballs that are not labeled in this manner are not legal for high school play.

During the 2019 CIF Southern Section Baseball Playoffs, the Rawlings CIF-SS baseball (see picture below) will be the mandatory baseball for all playoff games.

Please make sure and review these rules with your coaches, at all levels, so there will not be any confusion once we begin to play interscholastic contests.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best of luck this upcoming season.

NFHS Requirement Playoff Requirement

Rule 1505 TOURNAMENTS A team may not be entered in more than three tournaments.

1504.1 For each tournament, a team will be charged two games toward the allowable maximum number of contests.

QUESTION: Can a school enter two teams in the same tournament at the same level (i.e. varsity “A” and varsity “B”? ANSWER: If a school chooses to split a single team into two teams in the same tournament at the same level they will be charged one allotted tournament for each team entered. If a school enters a varsity “A” and a varsity “B” team, they will be charged for two (2) of the allowable three (3) tournaments for the season.

1505.2 All tournaments, regardless of the number of teams participating, are allowed a maximum of 5 games while still counting as 2 of your allowable contests.

1505.3 Tournament managers are responsible for notifying participating schools of the number of games and/or teams participating in the tournament.

NOTE: Two contests could be played in the SAME TOURNAMENT only, but not two games in two different tournaments (see Bylaw 1511).

CIF BYLAW 1503

On January 30, 2016 the CIF State Federated Council voted to require all base coaches to wear a protective helmet. This rule goes into effect immediately and applies to all levels of high school baseball.

This is the wording of 1503: It is required that adult base coaches wear a protective helmet. Play will not continue until compliance with this rule is met. It is recommended that the helmet meet NOCSAE standards.

As per NFHS rules, players occupying coaches boxes must wear a NOCSAE approved helmet. (Double ear flaps) Adult coaches are not required to wear a NOCSAE approved helmet, but they must wear a protective helmet. This rule applies to any team playing in the state of California.

The plate umpire shall not put the ball in play to begin a new half inning until he is sure all base coaches are properly equipped. An adult coach who does not wish to be in compliance must remain in the dugout.

OUTSIDE COMPETITION (IN-SEASON) A member of a high school baseball team may NOT, during his or her season of sport, compete for an outside team in the sport of baseball. A season of sport is defined as that period which begins with a student's first interscholastic competition (non-league, tournament or league game) and ends with that student's last interscholastic contest (non-league, tournament, league or CIF-SS playoff game).

LEVEL OF COMPETITION No student shall participate in more than one level of competition in the same sport in the same day.

DUGOUT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL COACHES BE ALLOWED TO SIT ON CHAIRS OR BUCKETS OUTSIDE THE DUGOUTS IN LIVE BALL TERRITORY.

SOFTBALL RULING The sport of baseball is considered to be separate and distinct from the sport of softball, and competition by a school baseball player on an outside softball team during the individual's baseball season IS PERMISSIBLE. Slow-pitch is considered to be softball.

TIE GAMES A regulation called game with a tie score shall be counted as 1/2 game won and 1/2 game lost for each team. This rule will apply to all contests and leagues MAY NOT WAIVE THIS RULE.

SPORTSMANSHIP There has been a great deal of concern about security for officials. It is strongly suggested that the home team have a representative to escort the officials to the playing field and back to your locker room and/or their car at the end of the contest. A responsible adult who can guarantee the security of the official should do this task.

PLAYER CONDUCT Any player ejected for any reason, or any player who leaves the confines of the bench or team area during a fight that may break out or has broken out, shall be disqualified from participating in the remainder of the game and will be ineligible for the team’s next contest. The next contest may not be a forfeited, postponed or canceled game. A second ejection will constitute a two- contest suspension and a third ejection will cause suspension for the remainder of the season. A player who was ejected from the previous contest who, knowingly or unknowingly, participates in or is in attendance at the next contest, will result in the forfeiture of that contest.

NOTE: Rule 1521 Any player whose conduct merits ejection from a game by an official for fighting or assaultive behavior shall be disqualified from participating in the remainder of the game and will be ineligible for the team’s next contest. After the suspension from play, the student may only return after certification by school principal that the student(s) has completed a conference with a school administrator. The appropriate form indicating the completion of the conference must be filed with the Section office prior to rejoining the team.

Any player who leaves the confines of the bench or team area during a fight that has broken out or may break out will be ineligible for the team’s next contest. After the suspension from play, the student may return only after certification by the school principal that the student(s) has completed a conference with a school administrator. The appropriate from indicating the completion of the conference must be filed with the Section office prior to rejoining the team.

QUESTION: What is meant by attendance at a contest?

ANSWER: Attendance is defined as being present at the team bench/area, inside a gymnasium, stadium or playing area. Students ejected from a game in progress should remain under supervision of school staff. The intent of this rule is that the ejected person is not in attendance at the contest.

COACH EJECTION Upon ejection, the head or assistant coach shall be disqualified from participating in the remainder of the game and will be ineligible for the team’s next contest. The next contest may not be a forfeited, postponed or canceled game. A second ejection will constitute a two-contest suspension and a third ejection will cause suspension for the remainder of the season. A coach who was ejected from the previous contest who, knowingly or unknowingly, participates in or is in attendance at the next contest, will result in the forfeiture of that contest.

As a final comment, it is important to remember that players, coaches, officials, and spectators are involved in the same contest. It is in our best interest to work together to provide a positive experience for all those involved. Positive relationships between coaches and officials can only enhance this experience, and it is hoped that all those involved make every effort possible to work in a positive manner with each other.

PLAYOFFS The 2019 Baseball Playoffs will be conducted in seven divisions, with each division made up of various schools. (See attached list for your school's division placement.)

All 4-team leagues will be guaranteed two entries into the playoffs, all 5-6 team leagues will be guaranteed three entries into the playoffs and all 7-8 team leagues will be guaranteed four entries into the playoffs. 9 or more team leagues are guaranteed 5 entries into the playoffs. Under the playoff format in all sports, leagues have the responsibility of developing and identifying the priority for their representatives into the playoffs as so noted under Article 330 (Playoffs) of the CIF Southern Section Blue Book. Please note that leagues may not conduct additional contests beyond the prescribed limits unless said contests are to determine ENTRY and not representative priority (leagues must have this as part of their constitution and must secure permission from the CIF-SS office before conducting such playoffs for entry).

Rule 3314.1 In all team sports other than basketball and wrestling, additional entries beyond a league’s guaranteed number of entries will only be permitted to enter the playoffs to fill any byes which exist in the opening round. Wildcard contests will be situations where the number of teams that are guaranteed entries from their leagues necessitate that additional contests be played to reduce the number of teams entered to the required number of the original draw. (For example, when there are 37 teams entered as guaranteed entries from their leagues into a particular playoff draw, there must be 5 wildcard contests played to reduce the number of teams from 37 to 32, the required number of the original draw.) At-large teams, teams meeting the at-large criteria (.500 or better overall record), can only be accepted into the playoffs if there are openings in the original draw after all of the league’s guaranteed entries are submitted. (For example, where there are 30 teams entered as guaranteed entries from their leagues into a 32- team draw, there would be 2 byes in the bracket and those byes could be filled by teams who were not guaranteed entries from their leagues who submitted at-large application forms for that particular sport and have an overall record of .500 or better in all games played during the

27 regular season.)

In any playoff grouping other than basketball, at-large selections will be considered from the next place beyond the guarantee that are .500 or better. After all those schools have been taken and there are still positions available, the next place teams that are .500 or better will then be considered. An example would be in football, some divisions allow two (2) entries per league. All 3rd place teams would be taken before any 4th place teams would be considered. (A tie will count as half a win and half a loss for a .500 record or better.) For specific information on the at-large selection process, see the respective Playoff Bulletin for each particular sport.

Rule 3317 WILD CARD TEAMS Where the number of teams exceeds the number of openings in the draw, the Commissioner may order a special playoff contest (“Wild Card System”) to determine the draw for the playoffs. Insofar as host team designation in the regular playoff draw, this “Wild Card Contest” will have no bearing when such a procedure is used. The Commissioner, or his representative, will draw the contending 4th, 3rd team representatives (and 2nd team representatives if required by the number of teams in a division in the draw) or free lance teams by lot and conduct a coin flip between same for the purpose of designating the host team in such a “Wild Card” contest. For all enrollment based playoffs, please refer to specific sport bulletins.

FREE LANCE All freelance schools are reminded that in order to be considered for post-season competition, the CIF-SS office prior to the start of the season must evaluate their schedule. This can be done by mailing a copy of the schedule along with a request to the CIF-SS office. (See Rule 3210.)

RULE 514 - TOBACCO PRODUCTS PROHIBITED The use of tobacco products in conjunction with any CIF Southern Section athletic contest is prohibited. That is to include all those involved in the contest including players, coaches, and officials.

RULE 1510.1 - SUMMERTIME RULES With the exception of the summer dead period, until the beginning of the first official starting date for fall sports, there shall be no restriction on high school coaches working with high school students, or entering them in summer baseball competition, provided approval is received from the school principal.

MEDIA COVERAGE National Federation Rule 1-2-8 states, “Media shall be prohibited from being in live-ball area. If a designated media area is to be used, it shall be established before the game begins. The home team or game management shall designate a lined area for the media, which shall be considered dead-ball area.”

TEN-RUN RULE National Federation Rule 4-2-2 states that the 10-run rule is optional, not mandatory. If a league wishes to adopt the 10-run rule for their league games they can do so, but every league contest must be played under that rule. Tournaments may adopt it as well, but only if it is part of the tournament rules. Finally, the ten-run rule can be utilized in non-league contests, only if it is agreed upon by both schools, prior to the start of the contest. All C.I.F. playoff games will be played without the 10-run rule. If the 10-run rule is adopted by a league, tournament or utilized in a non-league contest, it shall be implemented as follows, “At the end of 5 innings, or 4 ½ innings with the home team ahead, if a team is ahead by 10 runs or more the game will be over.” ACCOUNTABILITY RULE

The following is an excerpt from the article which appeared in the "Commissioner's Corner" in the CIF-SS January/February, 1982 Bulletin. We hope it will prove helpful to coaches in understanding the ACCOUNTABILITY RULE: Without question, the most serious breach within the realm of our programs presents itself when an individual coach removes a team from the playing facility prior to the conclusion of a contest.

Ironically, the justification invariably lacks substance at a subsequent hearing -- personal dissatisfaction with an official or the citing of dangerous conditions is the usual tenor of that thrust.

It is also paradoxical that such action if spawned by the individual coach on the short end of the score at the time. How serious is such an action? It has been the position of the CIF-SS Executive Committee to expect the Principal of the school concerned to relieve the coach from his/her assignment for the balance of that season.

When one considers the focal point is to involve as many student-athletes in our programs as possible, we lack accountability to those considered the heart of our organization -- not to mention the officials, the entire student body, the district and the community.

Each individual contest, regardless of the sport, lasts but a few minutes. The damaging results from such an occurrence are timeless.

Administrators are urged to review this aspect and the potential consequences with their staffs at the start of each sport season -- it takes but a few minutes

DUTIES OF THE PRINCIPAL (From the Blue Book) RULE 125.1 - COACH EJECTION Upon the ejection of a coach from any CIF-SS contest, it is the responsibility of the principal of said school to file a letter of explanation with the CIF Southern Section Office, which includes the circumstances surrounding the matter, and what action the principal has taken to prevent a recurrence. Said correspondence is to be filed within THREE school days of notification of the ejection. Additionally, upon ejection, the head or assistant coach shall be disqualified from participating in the remainder of the game and will be ineligible for the team's next contest.

QUESTION: What happens if unknowingly a coach or player who was ejected the previous game participates in the next contest?

ANSWER: Anyone playing or coaching in a contest after they have been ejected from a previous contest will be an ineligible participant and the contest must be forfeited.

RULE 125.2 - FAILURE TO COMPLETE A CONTEST When a school fails to complete a contest, due to a coach pulling his/her team from the floor, court, or field, it is MANDATORY that the CIF-SS office be notified by the principal within 24 hours (excluding holidays and weekends). The competing schools and officials will be required to file written reports, and after review of the aforementioned material, the principal of the school involved will be required to respond to the CIF Southern Section office concerning his/her investigation of the incident.

QUESTION: How serious is such action?

ANSWER: It has been the position of the CIF-SS Executive Committee to expect the principal of the school concerned to relieve the coach from his/her assignment for the balance of that season or the Executive Committee is empowered to consider recommendations for additional penalties.

Memorandum

DATE: January, 2019 TO: CIF-SS Coaches CIF-SS Umpires COPY: Glenn Martinez Brad Hungerford FROM: Ken Allan, California State Baseball Rules Interpreter Former Member, NFHS Rules Committee RE: 2019 Rule Interpretations, Points of Emphasis

The following information is provided to commissioners, coaches and umpires in an effort to provide consistency in rule enforcement and game management. Any questions should be directed to Ken Allan at: [email protected].

These are the significant rule changes, points of emphasis and interpretations for the 2019 season. Please be sure your lower division coaches have a copy.

NEW RULES FOR 2019 MAJOR CHANGE

6-1-3

Previously, 6-1-3 provided that a pitcher’s entire pivot foot be parallel and in contact with the pitcher’s plate. The 2019 change eliminates the requirement for the entire pivot foot to be in contact with the pitcher’s plate. Please note, however, that a pitcher still cannot pitch off the end of the pitcher’s plate.

UNANNOUNCED RULE CHANGE

See Case Book page 16 - 2.9.1 Situation D - Ball lodges in a fielder’s glove and the fielder throws glove with ball in it to the first baseman for the force out. In the past this was considered a “lodged ball” and the batter was awarded two bases. Under the new Case Book play this is a legal play and the batter is out. The dead ball table and other references will be updated later. Thanks to Gary Frieders, North Coast Section Baseball Rules Interpreter, for bringing this to the attention of the NFHS.

PLAY: Batted ball lodges in the pitcher’s glove. The pitcher tosses the ball and glove to first base ahead of the runner. RULING: The ball is live and the batter is out.

PLAY: Batted ball knocks the glove out of the pitcher’s hand to the ground. The pitcher picks up the glove with the ball lodged in it and throws the ball and glove to first base ahead of the runner. RULING: The ball is live and the batter is out.

OTHER CHANGES

1-3-1 Modified the effective date that baseballs shall meet a NOCSAE performance standard. (January 2020.)

2019 CIF-SS Page 2

OFFICIALS SIGNALS

Created a signal for a 3-or 4 person crew to indicate to their partners where they are rotating to a specific base for coverage of an anticipated play. Umpires are also expected to communicate rotations in a two man crew. Comment: This is especially important in that most high school umpires rarely work with 3 or 4 man crews. Signaling rotations to each other will help ensure all crew members are on the same page with rotations.

OFFICIALS SIGNALS

Created a signal for an umpire to alert his partner of relevant information. Comment: Rule 10-4 states that no umpire shall criticize or interfere with another umpire’s decision unless asked by the one making it. The purpose of this addition is to alert a calling umpire of information he may not have to arrive at the correct call. An example would be a catcher momentarily losing possession of the ball on a tag play at the plate. The plate umpire, blocked on the play, erroneously calls the runner out. This signal alerts the calling umpire that his partner has additional information. The calling umpire should then consult with his partner. Umpires are strongly urged to use this mechanic as a means to achieve the correct call. Umpires are reminded to go to the calling umpire immediately if there may be a misapplication of a rule. (Item 1-13 Umpire Manual.)

POINTS OF EMPHASIS

ATTENTION COMMISSIONERS--Because some sections are starting the season earlier than in the past, it is quite possible darkness will become an issue for games which have not become official. (Losing team completing its turn at bat in the fifth inning or the home team completing its turn at bat in the event of a tie). For that reason, it is important that coaches and umpires in each section are familiar with their section’s game ending procedure. The choices for a game stopped before it becomes official because of darkness or other reason are these: 1) Continue the game from the point of interruption at a later date. 2) Call the unfinished game a “no contest” and either replay it in its entirety, or cancel the game.

GAME START TIMES—As most of you know, some CIF sections have moved the start of the season two weeks earlier than in the past to accommodate playoff activity. As a result, it is very possible that many early season games may not be completed in seven innings due to darkness. It is up to each league to establish starting times for games. It is also vitally important that umpires are familiar with their section’s game ending procedures. This is a reminder to umpires and coaches to emphasize pace of play and keep the games moving. It is also highly recommended that coaches and umpires review rule 4-2 regarding ending a regulation game.

FACE GUARDS-- -- Face guards may now be legal due to some manufacturers producing NOCSAE approved helmets that are being tested with the face guard (like the c-flap). Please see rule book 1-5-2 (p 14) and case book play 1.5.2 (p 12). When an umpire asks coaches at the pregame meeting if their players are properly equipped, this includes NOCSE approved helmets and attachments, if applicable.

2019 CIF-SS Page 3

NATIONAL ANTHEM STANDOFF---This item is now specifically addressed in the NFHS rule book. Not only is this is considered an act of unsportsmanlike behavior, (3-3-1-f) but it is also disrespectful. Teams are expected to return to their dugouts without delay following the National Anthem. Coaches are the closest role models to these students and are held accountable for the behavior of their players as they represent their players and community. Umpires are instructed to request that the offending team immediately return to its dugout. Failure to do so will result in the head coach receiving a written warning and being restricted to the dugout for the remainder of the game. This item has the support of the CIF.

TAKING A KNEE DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM—Questions have been asked about what umpires should do in the event a player or players take a knee during the National Anthem. The answer is nothing. While some may claim this is unsportsmanlike, there are other issues involved such as freedom of speech, etc. To repeat, umpires are to take no action in the event of a player or players kneeling during the National Anthem.

BENCH JOCKEYING, CELEBRATIONS AND NEGATIVE COMMENTS BETWEEN OPPONENTS—The purpose of interscholastic sports is educational. Chants/intentional distractions/loud noises (natural or artificial) directed at the opponent’s pitcher prior to his pitching, or the batter getting ready to hit, or a fielder getting ready to make a play, is not good sportsmanship. Unsportsmanlike behavior will not be tolerated in interscholastic baseball. Umpires and coaches need to work together for the benefit of the students they officiate and teach. Coaches and umpires must not lose sight of the fact positive values that are learned on the baseball diamond will serve the young people long after their high school careers have ended.

ENFORCEMENT OF THE NFHS JEWELRY RULE---Items that are attached except medical appliances/devices are considered to be jewelry. The cause for the restriction of jewelry is primarily for risk minimization for the wearer and opponent. Obviously, if a physician has provided documentation support of a particular piercing, the local state association has the latitude (with proper justification) to make a special accommodation for the player. Umpires are asked to be more vigilant in the enforcement of this rule.

COMPLIANCE OF PLAYER’S EQUIPMENT—The NOCSAE stamped baseball will be available for the 2019 season. (required in 2020) In the interim, balls that have the NFHS Authenticating Mark are permissible for use this season. A reminder, that under CIF rules, a game cannot be played with baseballs that lack the NFHS Authenticating Mark. When a coach is asked to verify that his players are properly equipped in accordance with NFHS rules, the coach shall also verify that the participants are using only legal equipment, including bats that are unaltered from the manufacture’s original design.

BASERUNNERS’ RESPONSIBILITIES—Baserunners have many responsibilities while advancing or returning to bases. It is suggested that coaches make players aware of basic base running rules.

REMINDERS WHICH ARE HELPFUL TO COACHES AND UMPIRES IN GAME ADMINISTRATION

These items have appeared in the past and are repeated as an aid to proper game management and pace of play.

FOUL BALLS—In order to keep games moving more smoothly, it is strongly recommended that any ball retrieved by the on-deck hitter, or a long foul ball on the visitors side of the field, be rolled to the home dugout as soon as possible. If you are the visiting team and your on- deck batter retrieves a ball at the backstop, please have him roll it to the home dugout rather than taking it with him back to the on-deck circle. Doing this will allow the umpires to replenish baseballs from one source. This is even more critical in high school games in that the home team is only required to provide three baseballs. Let’s give this a good effort as it should be a big help in keeping the game moving. Umpires are being asked to remind coaches of this at the pregame meeting.

LINE UP CARDS—Please do not separate lineup cards. Just hand everything to the plate umpire. It is acceptable to provide a copy of the lineup card to the opposing team scorekeeper before the pregame meeting at home plate. Umpires are instructed to take the home lineup card first, then the visiting lineup card before inspecting either of the lineup cards.

LINEUP CARDS II—If you are using a designated hitter, please list the DH either directly below or directly across from the player for whom he is hitting. Please do not list the DH at the bottom of the lineup card, unless of course, he is batting for the player ninth in the order.

PREGAME MEETING—It has been noted that during the pregame meeting at home plate, members of the visiting team have often been observed outside their dugout warming up with bats. Rule 2-10-2 provides that BOTH teams must remain in the dugout during the pregame meeting. Please remind your teams.

LEAVING THE DUGOUT DURING A LIVE BALL—Coaches are doing a much better job in helping umpires enforce this rule. Players who leave the dugout to congratulate a scoring runner during a live ball will receive a team warning. Any following violators are subject to ejection. Coaches are also asked to remain in the dugout as provided by rule. Coaches may leave a dugout to position defensive players, but must return immediately to the confines of the dugout. (See POE above.)

UMPIRE AUTHORITY AND ENFORCEMENT—The NFHS, again, wants to emphasize the importance of cooperation between coaches and umpires. Contrary to the opinion of some, umpires are not the enemy. The sole purpose of umpires is to administer the game and keep the game under control. To help achieve that end, coaches need to cooperate with umpires and comply with umpire requests. It is understandable that coaches will sometimes have issues with various developments during the game. However, coaches and umpires are expected to act in a professional manner. Once a coach has received an explanation of his question, the coach needs to return to the coaching box or dugout in a timely manner. Coaches who fail to comply with an umpire’s request, such as remaining outside the dugout during a live ball, exaggerating the time for offensive and/or defensive conferences, 2019

2019 CIF-SS Page 5 gamesmanship and challenging the umpire’s authority, cannot be tolerated in education- based athletics. Coaches must understand they are setting the sportsmanship example for their team. Everyone benefits when it is a positive example. By the same token, umpires are expected to act in a professional manner and are expected to be a calming influence in heated situations. If a coach believes an umpire has acted unprofessionally, he should forward that information to the area liaison.

COACHING ATTIRE—Umpires are expected to enforce this rule. This is usually an issue in lower level games. As per rule 3-2-1, coaches must be in the uniform of their team. As a guideline, the following is acceptable: Baseball shoes, baseball pants, a jersey top similar to what the team is wearing, either a tee shirt with a team logo, wind shirt with a team logo, a jacket and a baseball cap. The following is NOT acceptable at ANY level: Coaches who are wearing shorts, or other non-baseball attire such as, but not limited to, sweatpants, jeans, tennis shoes or sandals. These items are not permissible. The penalty for non-compliance is that the coach is restricted to the dugout. If the team’s only coach is in non-compliance, he will be allowed on the field to participate in the pre-game meeting at home plate. He will also be allowed on the field to attend to an injured player. Otherwise, he must remain in the dugout.

THANKS—To all the coaches and umpires for their past cooperation and good luck for 2019.

CIF POINTS OF EMPHASIS GAME MANAGEMENT: Teams are doing a much better job of correctly lining the field. The most notable problems are the lack of markings for the three-foot running lane and the coaching boxes.

PREGAME EQUIPMENT/BAT INSPECTION: Along with asking if players are properly and legally equipped, umpires will now verify with coaches that all of their equipment (bats, batting helmets and catcher’s helmets) are legal. The specific language in rule 4-1-3b reads “equipped with bats that are unaltered from the original manufacturer’s design and production and helmets that meet NFHS and NOCSAE standards and free of cracks or damage.” The result of that rule change means that umpires will no longer be required to do pregame equipment checks. The penalty for using an illegal bat now also affects the coaches, since they have certified the legality of their equipment at the pregame meeting.

PENALTY: On the first violation of 4-1-3b for entering the box with an illegal bat, the penalty for an illegal bat is applied (7-4-1a) and the head coach shall be restricted to the bench/dugout for the remainder of the game. On the second violation for entering the box with an illegal bat, the penalty for an illegal bat is applied and the head coach shall be ejected. On subsequent violations for entering the box with an illegal bat, the penalty for an illegal bat is applied and the designated head coach shall be ejected.

POST GAME BEHAVIOR: NFHS rules only cover the conduct of players and coaches during a game. There is no coverage of a penalty for coach or player conduct after a game.

As a result, there have been instances of coaches and/or players, knowing there is no penalty, acting with non-sporting behavior toward umpires after a game.

In the event of post-game behavior by a coach or player that would result in an ejection during a game, the coach or player will be informed by the umpires that his behavior will be reported to the area liaison as an ejection. This policy is in effect until the umpires leave the game site. Please note that the above has the full support of the CIF-SS.

Mandatory Playoff Baseball

During the 2019 CIF Southern Section Baseball Playoffs, the Rawlings CIF-SS baseball will be the mandatory baseball for all playoff games. The home team will be responsible for supplying the required baseball for all playoff contests, beginning with the wild-card games and in each round to follow. The CIF Southern Section will supply all baseballs for the Championship Finals.

Any school found to be out of compliance with the mandatory use policy will be sanctioned in the following manner:

• Following the CIF-SS office receipt of a non-compliance report, the offending school will lose its next opportunity to host a playoff game.

• For purposes of calculating future home game opportunities during the playoff season, any game for which a team is sanctioned will count toward its total of home games played.

• Should a sanctioned school not have the opportunity to host a playoff contest (eliminated from playoffs), the penalty shall be carried over to next year’s playoff season.

COMMUNICABLE DISEASE PROCEDURES

While risk of one athlete infecting another with HIV/AIDS during competition is close to nonexistent, there is a remote risk that other blood borne infectious diseases can be transmitted. For example, Hepatitis B can be present in blood as well as in other body fluids. Procedures for reducing the potential for transmission of these infectious agents should include, but not be limited to, the following:

 The bleeding must be stopped, the open wound covered and if there is an excessive amount of blood on the uniform it must be changed before the athlete may participate.

 Routine use of gloves or other precautions to prevent skin and mucous- membrane exposure when contact with blood or other body fluids is anticipated.

 Immediately wash hands and other skin surfaces if contaminated (in contact) with blood or other body fluids. Wash hands immediately after removing gloves.

 Clean all contaminated surfaces and equipment with an appropriate disinfectant before competition resumes.

 Practice proper disposal procedures to prevent injuries caused by needles, scalpels, and other sharp instruments or devices.

 Although saliva has not been implicated in HIV transmission, to minimize the need for emergency mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, mouthpieces, resuscitation bags or other ventilation devices should be available for use.

 Athletic trainers/coaches with bleeding or oozing skin conditions should refrain from all direct athletic care until the condition resolves.

 Contaminated towels should be properly disposed of/disinfected.

 Follow acceptable guidelines in the immediate controls of bleeding and when handling bloody dressings, mouth-guards and other articles containing body fluids.

Additional information is available from your state high school association and from the NFHS.
