| Is a batter able to switch sides during an at bat?
If yes, can they continually go back and forth, or just once?

| My understanding is that they cannot cross directly over the plate to switch. They have to step out of the box and go back behind the umpire and around to the other side.

| I always thought that once you've taken a pitch you can't switch sides...

| Hi all just trying to clarify when pitching is your pitching arm allowed to make a full arm rotation (windmill) as long as you still lob the ball in. Had this happen in a game and no one really knew what the rules say about this. Thanks

| The new divisions will change the league this year. The sharks get to eat themselves and the guppies get a chance at glory. In
my humble opinion that is the best thing we have done in this league since we started the ringer picks.

| All,
I'm curious to know what glove sizes and patterns people use for the different positions. I'm looking at getting a new glove... and want to see what the people have/use.
I think I'm leaning towards a smaller glove, as I have been playing a lot of SS/3B lately, but 11 3/4'' seems very small for a 12'' softball - but HRS has some nice sales on some 11 3/4'' I web HoH gloves...
I have a 12 3/4'' H-web that measures at 12 1/2'' but plays nice and deep, closes from thumb to ring finger with TIP.
I use it everywhere, and I basically play every position.
So, what size / pattern glove do you use - for what positions.

| SFox, i too wear glasses during the day but not for ball
(some may say it gives me an excuse for the way i play).
Actually if u are near sighted (cant see far away) and are playing the outfield you will still need to wear.
Im far sighted (can't see up close - fortunately my wife is also far sighted so we are still married) )
I don't wear glasses when i play the infield and bat.
So find out if u are far or near sighted

| I'm outta the loop as I haven't been as active on the board lately. Was just wondering if there are some organized BP sessions like there have been in years past ?
Would be nice to get out and see some familiar faces and get a few hacks in.

| K. Night - u may want to look at the mechanics of your throwing. i know most of us have played for a while - but may not have looked at HOW we throw. Over the years it can lead to pain. Check some videos you may be surprised. It's not all arm - the upper body, core, legs, angle, starter step should all be considered. Just a thought

| Highest value would likely be the Nighthawk but it really depends on what you typically swing. If you want to try a short barrel go with the Freak 30...if you like the Miken/Worth lines with longer barrel then go with the DC. Not much help but it really depends on what you like to swing.

hey i have a question on a rule. Section 7-6e states the batter is out if the batter matter makes contact with the ball (with the bat of course) and any part of his foot touches the plate.
Last year, we useed the black rubber mat for the strikezone. Does this rule apply for the batter just touching the white plate, or also the rubber mat?
I am also assuming that if the batter swings and misses the ball completely and touches the plate then nothing happens.

| It happens to be the right call.
Batter out of the box (therefore steps on mat or plate) and makes contact with the ball = batter is out and dead ball = no advance.

| Goldyglove, same reason there are rules anywhere in life.
If you can step out of box onto mat why can't you take 2 steps towards pitcher - or 3 steps towards catcher. It's called the batters box for a reason.
