3.03 – Substitution Rules
Canal Little League uses a continuous batting order in the divisions using youth umpires. Minimum playing time rules are applicable, however once met, free defensive substitutions are allowed.
3.04 – Courtesy runners are not permitted
3.08 – If a substitute pitcher takes a position on the pitcher’s plate and throws a warm up pitch, they are officially in the game.
3.09 – Managers or coaches must NOT warm up a pitcher at home plate or in the bull pen or elsewhere at any time. ‘Warming up’ means getting in a ‘catcher’s stance’. Playing catch from an upright position is allowed.

23. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 3 Notes
Both managers will make the decision on fitness of the playing field for play prior to the pre game plate meeting. If there is a disagreement, a Canal Board Member will make this decision.
The UIC (adult) or Game Coordinator will make the final decision on suspending play once the pre game plate meeting is complete.

24. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 4 Notes
Note - After a dead ball, wait until the pitcher is on the pitching plate, the catcher is crouched in his/her normal stance and the batter is set, THEN physically and verbally signal “PLAY”.

25. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 4 Notes
While using a continuous batting order:
If a player is injured during the game, their spot in the batting order shall be passed over with no penalty.
If a player arrives late for a game, that player will be inserted at the bottom of the team’s batting lineup (regardless of where they are currently at in the order). Players arriving late to a game ARE NOT required to meet mandatory playing times.
Teams are required to have 2 base coaches at all times. This does not waive the requirement to have a coach in the dugout AT ALL TIMES. If less than 3 coaches are available, the role of base coach should be filled by a player. Players acting as base coaches are required to wear a batting helmet.

26. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 4 Notes
4.06 – How much is too much????
“Hey Blue …. They can’t do that…. It’s affecting my pitcher!”
4.06 – No manager, coach or player shall at any time make any calculated move to cause the pitcher to make an illegal pitch
Normal (or even loud) cheering/singing etc. IS PERMITTED.
Changing the tone/pitch/whatever when the pitcher is delivering his/her pitch IS NOT.
Umpire shall call ‘time’ and warn the manager/coach. If continued, removal from the game may be required.

27. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 4 Notes
If the 3rd out is recorded on a play, the run is not scored if:
The batter-runner is out before touching first base
Any runner is forced out
A preceeding runner is declared out on appeal for failure to touch a base.
Note: A tagup is not a force play…… it is an appeal.
Example: 1 out. Blevins on Third. Alexander on First. Lang flies out to right field. The throw from right field beats Alexander back to the base, but Blevins tagged up and has already scored first. In this case it is a timing play and Blevin’s run WOULD count.

28. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 4 Notes
4.10 – If a game is called, it is a regulation game if 4 innings (3 ½ if home team is winning) are completed.
Note: Minor A Baseball and Major Softball have runs/inning limits. Confirm these limits, and if the ‘last inning’ is unlimited runs during your pre game plate meeting. If, due to darkness, the game must be shortened, the umpire shall inform both managers of the appropriate ‘last inning’ to allow both teams the unlimited run opportunity.
The game shall be declared complete if one team is leading by 10 runs after 4 complete innings (3 ½ if home team is winning).

29. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 4 Notes
4.17 – Games cannot be started or continued if less than 9 players are available on each team.
Any time this situation occurs it IS NOT a forfeit. Accurately record the situation and report this to me and any present board member (if available).
Protests - If a manager would like to Protest a game, that’s perfectly fine. As a Junior Umpire, you are to have your Game Coordinator record the game situation, then tell them to contact the respective division officer and myself after the game is over. Then CONTINUE the game.
A protest has to be addressed prior to the next pitch or it is Invalid.

Rule 6 Notes
6.03 – The lines are part of the batters box. The batter shall take a legal position with both feet completely within the batters box. In Little League, the batter is out only if he/she is entirely out of the batters box when contacting the ball. This makes it possible to actually be touching the plate with part of your foot as long as they are still touching the line in the batters box.
Legal or Not when the ball is pitched?
Legal or Not if he is like this when the ball is hit?

35. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.02 – After entering the batter’s box, the batter must remain in the box with at least 1 foot throughout the at bat except:
After a swing
When forced out by an inside pitch
After a drag bunt
Uncaught ball by catcher
A play has/is being attempted
Time Out
Pitcher is off the mound
Walk (or batter thought it was ball 4)
A batter will be given a warning the first time this occurs during an at bat. If it happens again during the at bat, a strike should be called on the batter.

36. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
A batter will be given a warning the first time this occurs during an at bat. If it happens again during the at bat, a strike should be called on the batter.
Remember – Umpires are NOT there to change the game. A simple “Hey, just remember I need you to stay in the batter’s box” whispered to the batter is usually enough to do the trick.
More like this
Not like that

37. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.05 – Uncaught 3rd Strikes (Majors divisions)
Q: When am I able to run to first base on an uncaught 3rd strike?
A: With 0 or 1 out and first base was not occupied at the time of the pitch.
A: With 2 outs with bases empty or ANY combination of base runners at the time of the pitch.
Q: With 2 outs and the bases loaded, is it ok for the catcher to just step on home plate if a 3rd strike is uncaught?
A: Stepping on HP (even if unintentionally) with possession of the ball in this situation is a force out of the runner. Good coaches sometimes remind catchers of this prior to the pitch.

38. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.05 – Uncaught 3rd Strikes (Majors divisions)
Q: In the game I just did, I had batters running to 1B after uncaught third strikes when they weren’t eligible. What now?
A: This happens periodically and can be classified as ‘chaos’. As an umpire, ensure you let everyone know the batter is OUT. All runners at that point are advancing at their own risk.

39. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training

40. “But Blue…… Everyone Knows The Hands Are Part of the Bat!”
Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
“But Blue…… Everyone Knows The Hands Are Part of the Bat!”
Not so much…. Most of you will be faced with the decision on whether a pitch hit the batter (hands) or the bat (foul ball). While undoubtedly one team may disagree with your call, here are some tips:
Always start by calling a ‘Dead Ball’. Either way this stops all other action.
Use all your available resources if you were unable to get a perfect view (it’s very difficult):
Did you hear a thud (hand) or a ping (bat)
How did the batter react
Did your partner (somehow) get a good view
Remember – This is a judgement call. If the ball hit the bat first it is foul, if it hit the hand first it is HBP. Can’t be both.
THE HANDS ARE NOT PART OF THE BAT.

41. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.05 – What if the bat hits the ball or a fielder while in play??
After hitting or bunting a fair ball, if the bat/ball connect a second time:
If no intention (bat was dropped) then LIVE BALL
If intentional (bat was thrown carelessly) then Dead Ball, batter is out and runners return to original bases.
ANY time a bat is thrown and interferes with a defensive player (intentional or not) it shall be a dead ball and interference.

42. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
Runners lane
A batter/runner may be called out for interference if outside of the running lane in the last 30’ from home to first base. In the umpire’s judgement ALL of the following must occur for this to happen:
The play/throw must be coming from behind the runner
Either/Both runner’s feet outside the runners lane lines
The throw must have had a chance to be ‘reasonably’ caught
The runner being out of the lane interfered with the chance to make the play. This doesn’t require the ball to actually hit the runner.
Runner’s final step to base is protected
Runner may exit lane to avoid tag

43. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.06 – Batter Illegal Actions
Batter switches sides of plate AFTER pitcher is set to pitch
Failing to make a reasonable effort to vacate the batters box area when a play is in progress
Batter enters the batter box with first foot with illegal bat
If discovered before next player enters batters box – defense may take out (and all runners return) or result of play. Also, loss of 1 adult base coach (confined to bench).

44. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.06 – Batter Illegal Actions
Stepping Out of the Batters Box to hinder a throw by catcher
The Batter has the right to stay in the batters box during any catcher’s throw as long as they don’t do anything to deliberately hinder the throw
If batter interference is called on this with less than 2 strikes or less – THE BATTER IS OUT and the RUNNER RETURNED to prior base
If batter interference is called on this after strike 3 on the batter – THE BATTER IS OUT for striking out AND the RUNNER IS OUT on the interference.

45. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.07 – Batting Out Of Order

46. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training
Rule 6 Notes
6.08 – Intentional Walks - Prior to the first pitch being thrown to a batter, the defensive manager may call time and request the batter be intentionally walked. This will add 4 pitches to the current pitcher pitch count.

7.08 – Avoiding Contact - While there is no ‘Must Slide’ Rule, the runner must either slide (not head first) or attempt to avoid contact with a fielder in possession of the ball awaiting a tag.

52. Canal Youth Umpires Rules Training Rule 7 Notes
“But Blue, the only reason he didn’t slide
was because the catcher was obstructing the plate!”
(New Castle v Midway – District All Star Game)
Situation: Runner rounds 3B and heading home. Catcher is standing slightly on the 3B side of home plate in the baseline awaiting the throw. Catcher receives throw in the baseline as the runner arrives. Runner goes around catcher and slides head first into home plate.
Ruling: In all cases, the runner is responsible to follow rule Options would have been to stop and retreat to 3B, slide feet first into catcher or avoid contact. The runner would have been awarded home on catcher obstruction. However, in this case, the illegal slide is enforced and the runner is out.
