I am guessing a lot of schools will be dropping a lot of sports when scholarship numbers go up. Particularly the small schools. Will be interesting to see the numbers in th...

Go watch the video. He never called him out. He took his mask off and watched both the catcher and the runner and never called an out or verbalized anything.
Meanwhile the announcer was yelling "out at home plate".
Go to the 15 minute mark to see it in this video.

True dat Dalton. What they should be all complaining about is the failure on the appeal because the guy stealing home never touched the plate.
EDIT: Found the rule why the appeal did not work.
Rule 6.b.8 (Appeals) If a violation occurs during a play that ends an inning, the appeal must be ...

I keep reading this. Where in the rule book does it say the batter stepping out of the box is an automatic strike? I am under the impression it’s only a strike if the pitch is an actual strike and a ball if it’s a ball. [/quote]
Here is the rule:

On a slow night maybe. I am guessing no because this game wasn't a big enough game. If it happened in the SEC Champ Game or a Super Regional, then yes, it probably makes it....

The seams on the balls were lowered in 2015 leading to less action on pitches and further distance on balls hit. I do not know if there has been a change since then.
BBCOR is more enforced now than it ever has been. Bats are tested before games and a sticker is applied to the bat to show that...
