*** Pitching nets will be available for use for the remainder of the Fall Season. ***
Teams will declare the use of the pitching net at the beginning of the game.
It is NOT mandatory that a team use the pitching net.
***Pitching Net RULES***
1. If a team chooses to use the net, the net will be used for the entirety of that game for that team, no matter who pitches.
2. The net can be placed no more than 4 feet from the mound. Once placed that
inning, the net must stay in that place. No moving of the net for each batter.
3. The pitcher MUST stay behind the net until the ball makes contact with the bat.
4. If a ball is hit into the net, it will be a DEAD BALL and counted as a STRIKE. If the “gotta be fair ball” hits the net the batter will be OUT.
5. On defense. If a ball is thrown into net or touches net in any way, the ball
will be LIVE.
Again, it is NOT MANDATORY for a team to use the net.
Thank you and see you at the fields!!
