Several rule changes/clarifications were approved by the SSUSA Rules Committee that occurred on December 4-6, 2024.  Effective as of December 6, 2024.  MVUDSS will review the following changes and determine if it will adopt them into its 2025 Spring and 2025 Fall Seasons:

§1.29 • BATTERS BOX AND §7.3 • BATTING POSITION “The batter must take an initial position with his back foot no further forward than a line defining the front edge of home plate. The batter will be called out if he hits the ball when the back foot is completely further forward than the line defining the front edge of home plate. NOTE: All other illegally batted ball infractions regarding the side and rear lines of the batter’s box, along with stepping on home plate, remain in effect.”
• PASSED: 5-1-4  Not adopted by MVUDSS.

§3.4(4) • ALTERED EQUIPMENT – Proposal to ban the use of bat warmers was presented, adopting the USA Softball rule that states: “[T]he characteristics of any approved equipment cannot be unnaturally changed. Examples include icing, cooling, or heating of any equipment. In addition, approved bats shall not be rolled, shaved, or modified to change their characteristics from those produced by the manufacturer. Warming devices for bats are not approved.”
