Changes in Playing Rules Outline New Baseball Umpire Roles
Sik O Loughlin outlines key changes for next season in the American League. Coaches boxed limits, a 15 foot exclusion zone to first base, and the dead line through first and second bases. Captains notify umpires of substitutions, batting order must be at home plate before play, and runners receive three bases if a fielder obstructs a hit. Umpire duties split balls and strikes versus base calls. Every player assists in plays and can be credited with both putout and assist on the same play.
