PITCHING RULES


75 pitches max/pitcher/day
100 pitches max/pitcher/weekend
Fake to 3rd & Throw to 1st is LEGAL
Picking off to an unoccupied base is only a balk if the pitcher is not making a play on an advancing baserunner.
Two examples that are legal pick off moves:
1. Runner on first and pitcher inside moves to 2B is NOT a balk if the runner is trying to steal to 2B. If the runner is NOT trying to steal second in this situation and the pitcher inside moves to an unoccupied base, then a BALK is called.
2. If a runner is on second base and attempting to steal third base, a pitcher can lift his leg and throw straight to third base even though it is not occupied if he is attempting to make a play on an advancing runner. If a pitcher were to do this and a baserunner is not trying to advance, a balk is called.


OFFENSIVE RULES


Slashing is LEGAL
Sliding head first into any base is LEGAL
There is NO “Must Slide” rule. Baserunners must AVOID CONTACT
