Please note the following comments regarding a pitcher in the set position:
- … and his glove at or below his chin; NFHS rule 6-1-3
Any part of the glove can be at or below the chin; the entire glove does not have to be below the chin.- … entire pivot foot in contact with or directly in front of the pitcher’s plate; rule 6-1-3
Approximately 75% of the pivot foot should be directly in front of the pitcher’s plate. If a pitcher is drifting too far, the plate umpire may send the catcher out to let him know; DO NOT make a big deal of it. But if he continues to push the limit you MAY HAVE to call it by rule. If the opposing team complains, you MUST call it!
The above and other revisions can be found in the updated Umpires Manual; a link to a printable copy is on the baseball/softball page of wncso.com.
All NCHSAA baseball officials:
The following bat has been decertified by the

The
decertification affects only the 33-inch model; all other Marucci bats,
including the Marucci Black and other Cat 5 sizes are still legal.
Please make note and be on the lookout for the bat in your pregame inspection.
