College baseball may add replay to more situations, including plays at the plate

It's about time...get the call RIGHT!

The changes will include plays that may be reviewed are:
- Deciding if an apparent home run is fair or foul.
- Deciding whether a batted ball left the playing field for a home run or a ground-rule double. Spectator-interference plays.
- Deciding if a batted ball is fair or foul.
- Deciding whether a fielder did or did not make a catch on a fair batted ball hit into the outfield or on any foul ball.
-Deciding scoring plays at the plate.
-Determining if a player should be ejected for a collision (illegal or malicious slides).
-Determining if a run scored on timing plays. (An example would be to determine if a base runner scored before the last out of an inning was recorded at another base).

main thing that could suck is how long the games will become
I can't imagine it being a massive difference but if each replay takes 5 minutes or so it's going to get annoying with it already being a slow game

You make a good point and it is one of the reasons replay in more situations has been resisted, along with the argument that not all venues are set up for instant replay.
I believe it's worth trying and if the replays get to be so frequent they interrupt the flow of the game too much, they can always go back to what we have now.
I'd like to see a compromise where a coach gets a limited number of challenges per game, say two per game, similar to the NFL rules.
If a coach challenges the decision on a play and the replay reverses the decision, he gets to keep his number of challenges. If he loses the replay decision, his number of challenges decreases by one.

I think putting a limit on catchers visits to the mound and number of consecutive throws to base with a runner could keep the game in a better rhythm. Those are things that happen within the flow of the game that slow it down. Replays happen after a play is done and a natural break in the action anyway.

number of consecutive throws to base with a runner

Strongly disagree on the second part

If you put the limit at 2 or 3 and then reset it after a pitch it isn't a huge advantage to the runner and it is on the coach/pitcher to understand that at some point you are giving the player a heads up. I love baseball but watching a pitcher throw to first 5 or 6 times in a row is annoying.

That would be a good rule to install

Not sure how that would work. Should the pitcher reach that limit the base runner would know he's free to take a twenty foot lead.

Simple don't throw over 3 times. That is the point of the rule. Throw 2 throw a pitch and if you throw three throw a pitchout and try and get the runner. Either way it is advancing the game forward. An unsuccessful pick off play is not moving the game forward. It is only an advantage to the runner if you use the allotted number of throw overs.

Its more than that. Let's say the allotment is three pitches to the base. After the second throw over the first base coach is telling his runner to take an extra step, maybe two extra steps. If the pitcher, aware of the new rule, doesn't chose to throw over, the runner is two steps closer to the next base.
It doesn't work if the runner is aware of what the pitcher can and cannot do to keep him close to the bag.

If you want to shorten the game so much that you're willing to do that, just go ahead and make it two strikes for a strikeout and three balls for a walk.
Nope. Nope. Nope.

Or no leads at all like t-ball.

Don't worry, we all fricking hate Cohen and Mississippi State games

it's ridiculous
the runner could technically take a lead halfway to second and then steal...it completely defeats the purpose of throwing over and this will never, ever, ever, ever change
