NCAA Softball Rules Committee changes rules on slap bunting
What kind of effect will this have on teaching the slap bunt?
Quote:
The NCAA Softball Rules Committee had a busy offseason. It approved rule changes for several areas of the game including obstruction, runner’s lane, media format, technology, pace and flow.
One of the most interesting changes has to do with staying in the batter’s box. According to NCAA.com, “The panel approved a rule prohibiting batters from having any part of their foot touch the ground outside the lines of the batter’s box when bat-ball contact is made. If a batter violates this rule, she will be declared out.”
The person's work chalking up the diamond better be checked. Not sure if it is intentional or not but I have seen more than 1 softball batter's box chalked like a baseball one and that is incorrect.
