SEC



The new guidelines expand the number of plays that can be reviewed to include:

Force/Tag Play Calls: Force and tag play calls involving the batter or batter runner acquiring the base prior to the defensive player's attempt to put out the batter runner or runner at any base (including first base).

Specified Base Running Calls: Calls involving whether a base runner passes a preceding runner before such runner is out; and upon an appropriate appeal by the defensive team, whether a base runner touched a base.


Hit-by-Pitch Calls: Play involving a batter and whether a pitched ball touches a batter or his clothing (hit by pitch).

Tag-Up Plays: Deciding if a runner failed to retouch his base after a ball is legally caught before he or his base is tagged by a fielder at all bases.

Placement of Runners: The umpire's placement of a batter runner or runners following a boundary call.

Interference for the Purpose of Breaking up a Double Play (Force Play Slide Rule)

Adding appeals is good imo... There have been instances where it was obvious and the ump wasn't looking or didn't have a good angle.

I have no problem with any of these being included honestly

Six permanent reviewable calls will remain in effect for all games - both non-conference and conference games. These are the same plays that were permitted to be reviewed during the 2017 season. The permanent reviewable calls include:

Specified Fair/Foul Ball Calls: Deciding if a batted ball is fair or foul. The ball must first touch the ground or a fielder beyond the initial position or the first or third baseman.

Potential Home Run Calls: Deciding if a batted ball is either a ground rule double or a home run.

Catch Plays in the Outfield: Any catch or no catch in the outfield or foul territory.

Catch Plays in the Infield: A call of "no catch" can be changed to "catch" within the infield only if it results in a third out with any runner on base, or any time with a batter runner only.

Spectator interference: An umpire's decision on whether spectator interference occurred.

Scoring Plays at Home Plate (including collisions): Deciding scoring plays at home plate inclusive of collisions (illegal and/or malicious slides) or time plays.

I'm all for anything being reviewable. I don't really care how long it takes, I just want to get it right.

Could have gotten us to game 3 of the finals if this was implemented last year.

Noticed this at the end if the article. Curious to see how this works out.

The SEC also received approval from the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel for the use of wireless coach-to-catcher communication devices. The experimental rule is being allowed to see if the technology improves the pace of play.

So I guess a system similar to the NFL QB systems? Would also prevent sign stealing I guess if you can just verbally say the pitch to the catcher in his ear

Isn't most sign stealing the signs going to the pitcher? If it's going to the catcher only, he still has to communicate with the pitcher.
