Baseball Scoring Rule Changes Adopted by Committee
The joint major league rules committee announced several updates to baseball rules. Changes limit a coacher from stopping runners and allow coaches to encourage batters and baserunners. New penalties apply when a uniform part or glove is used to stop a ball, and when a ball hits an umpire. Pitchers may stand on the mound as rules converge on infield fly and Balk interpretations across leagues.
