Is this what we want to be allowed in our game? (Her foot is in front of the plate, in the strike zone, not on the plate). There’s a NCAA Softball rule on the table to allow the batter to step outside the batters box as long as part of her foot is still on the chalk. This would allow: 1) Batters to hit traditionally unhittable pitches. Could jeopardize safety of players. 2) Batters to step into the river and getting HBP (while still “attempting” to get out of the way). 3) Batters taking away the vision of the inside slot for umpires. 4) Pitchers inability to throw inside. Is this what we want? Coaches, your voice and vote on the NCAA Rules Survey.
