I watched it happen in college twice in one inning last season

Yes. High School is a big screw you to the batter. Everywhere else in the world you have a homerun.

Umpire calls the balk btw. Left that out

Man on first. Pitcher doesn't come set and delivers the pitch, batter hits a HR. What do you have?

You aren't the only one. I don't even like the if they step out it is a strike regardless of the location.

Whitaker Bank Park is not turf. EKU and NKU are turf infields with NKU planning on going full turf in the future.

Last year the KHSAA decided to open up the Baseball season two weeks earlier than in the past. This decision came after the schedules for last season were for the most part set at that time.

The double strike penalty is FED rule 6-2-4-D-1 If the batter steps out of the box with both feet the umpire shall call a strike for violation of 7-3-1. If the pitcher legally delivers the ball it shall be called a strike and remain live.Thus two strikes on the batter if he steps out of the box with both feet

You did right here Clyde. They are two different rule sets. Find this rule in the FED rules book

Correct.. One for stepping out illegally, one for the pitch regardless if it is in the strike zone or not. Different from OBR where you call the pitch where it is Either way it is never a balk if the pitch is not delivered

Please do not refer to National Federation (FED) rules as OBR. OBR is reserved for Major League rules
