Proposed ASA Rule Changes
|
Edited for clarification and typo corrections:
Define "Errant throw" as "A thrown ball which draws the defender away from the area of the play or base at which a play is being made"
Numerous scenarios in changing the FP distance to 43'.
A couple proposals to change the base distance in SP to 70'
This is not a new proposal, but as noted in the past, the game has caught up to the fields and 70' is a move which will be good for the adult game.
Safety Grip: Covers the handle region of the bat. The safety grip will not be less than 10 inches and not more thn 15 inches. There shall be no exposed metal in the 10-15 inch area. The safety grip may be a molded finger formed grip as long as it is permanently attached to the bat or attached with Safety tape. Resin, pine tar or spray substances are permissible on the safety grip only. Any tape applied to the safety grip must be sa continuous spiral. A bat having a flare or cone shaped grip attached is legal
Comment: Maybe it is me, but the last sentance is a direct contradiction to the safetey aspect of the grip which has been standard for ASA in the past. If this change passes, does that mean ASA now considers a bat altered in this manner safe?
Changing the required ball requirments to a .520 cor an a 275.0 lbs of compression.
This isn't actually a change, but the addition of such a ball as acceptable in play for ASA
There are a couple requiring JO infielders and pitchers to wear masks? Failure results in a bench restriction and can no longer participate in the game.
Penalty for a player not wearing a mask during warm ups is a bench restriction for the player and coach.
Exposed jewelry must be removed and may not be worn during a game.
Numerous suggestions concerning metal spikes in particular classes of ASA JO softball.
A change to remove "heating" from the characteristic changing of equipment because at the present time, it is no more affecting th game than if the equipment being lying in the sun.
JO ball to allow one or two EPs
Change UR sub to not allow a run to score if the URS did not report.
During between inning warm ups, restrict the defense to 4 IF & 1 ball.
Eliminate the low height of a SP pitch and restrict the high side to 10'.
Drop awarded base from the IP enforcement.
Allow players to select the OD circle they prefer to avoid a possible fould ball.
Make a foul ball an automatic dead ball on a 3rd strike so the defenders do not have to worry about making a play on a runner tagging and advanding.
Eliminate stealing in SP below Men's A & B

Re: Proposed ASA Rule Changes

Today is pretty much dedicated to the presentation and awarding of event. See other board.
I don't really want to "guess" what may get through or not since committees will not finish up until tomorrow.
That said, personal opinion is that the requirement of masks on infielders or a bench restriction for not wearing a mask while warming up a pitcher will be rejected.
The changes involving the taping of a bat handle, knob and the addition of the "cone" (i.e.,Grip N Rip) will possibly be permitted in the future.
Slow Pitch will probably go from 6-12 to 6-10 foot
