2010 SECTION V BASEBALL HANDBOOK

UNDER CONSTRUCTION

 

NEW RULE STARTING January 1, 2012 :  Rule 1-3-2, regarding bat specifications, specifies that the bat should be a smooth

cylinder implement from the top of the cap to the top of the knob. The change will also require that all non-wood bats

meet the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) performance standard, which is the standard used by the National

Collegiate Athletic Association. Formerly, non-wood bats had to meet the Ball Exit Speed ration (BESR) standard.

 

The new rule states that NON-WOOD BATS MUST BE LABELED WITH A RECTANGULAR CERTIFICATION MARK - "A MINIMUM

OF A HALF-INCH ON EACH SIDE AND LOCATED ON THE BARREL OF THE BAT IN ANY CONTRASTING COLOR."

CLICK HERE FOR PLAYOFF DATES

 

 

REQUIRED PRACTICES

 

Under the NYSPHSAA Sports Standards the battery must have 10 scheduled practices before

participating in an interscholastic scrimmage.  Each individual pitcher and catcher must attend

8 of the 10 practices to be eligible.  The other position players must have 8 scheduled practices

and each must attend 6 of the 8 practices to be eligible for play.

 

In order to be eligible for play in an interscholastic contest the battery  must have 15 scheduled

practices.  Each individual pitcher and catcher must attend 13 of the 15 practices to be eligible. 

The other position players must have 10 scheduled practices and each must attend 8 of the 10

practices to be eligible for play.

 

 

 

SCHEDULING

 

The maximum number of games scheduled and played during the regular season is 20 (excluding

sectional games).  Individuals may participate in two regulation games per day with at least a 15

minute rest between games.  All tournament games - including southern trips - count as games

towards schedule and final record.

 

Schedules must be submitted to your league coordinator by Friday, April 2, 2010.  Any games

scheduled after April 2nd will not count towards sectional seeding.

 

All contest must be scheduled 7 inning games.  Teams scheduling 5 inning games – single or

double headers – will result in forfeit for both teams.  In October 1998 the NYSPHSAA waived

baseball's 10 run rule.  A league or section may not use the rule without the approval of the

NYSPHSAA's governing board.  This does not prohibit an individual school or coach ending a

contest prior to its full completion for whatever reason.

 

The last play date is Saturday, May 22, 2010.  Any games played after May 23rd will not count

towards sectional seeding.

 

Game results (record and seeding points) must be reported to your Class Coordinator

weekly, starting Monday, April 5th.  With full cooperation, up to date records, points, and

seedings will be posted on the Section V Official Baseball Website.

 

 

 

PITCHING REGULATIONS

 

Under the NYSPHSAA Sports Standards a pitcher may pitch in a maximum of twelve (12) innings

in one (1) day, but no more than eighteen (18) innings in any six (6) consecutive day period.

Delivery of one (1) pitch constitutes having pitched an inning.  If he pitches in eight (8) or more

innings in a day, he must have two (2) nights of rest before he can pitch again.  Any violation

of the rule will be considered in the same light as a school using an ineligible player.  The game

will be forfeited.  

 

 

 

DUTIES OF THE COACH

 

Submit a completed schedule to your League Chairmen by Friday, April 2, 2010.  See

Duties of Athletic Director for more information.

 

Report your record and seeding points to your Class Coordinatorweekly, starting

Automated External Defibrillator (AED):  It is each schools responsibility to have an

AED available at neutral site games.  Schools should contact each other, or the host school,

to confirm that an AED will be available at the site.

 

The Coach is directly responsible for the conduct of his team.  He is the official school

representative on the playing field.  Please read Section VSportsmanship Policy.

 

Apply the NYSPHSAA Thunder and Lightning Policyas listed in this handbook.  

 

All coaches must be in uniform.  Coaches not in uniform must coach from the dugout

their team roster to the game.

 

Each team will supply at least three (3) new baseballs for each contest. 

 

At the conclusion of the season, to nominate a player for all-state, contact Bill Bowe for a

selection form:  (s) 585-396-3830      (f) 585-396-3861        bowew@canandaiguaschools.org

Forms are also available from your league chair.  Completed all-state nominations should

be turned into your league chair prior to your year end league meeting.

 

 

DUTIES OF THE ATHLETIC DIRECTOR

 

Submit a completed schedule to yourLeague Chairmenby Friday, April 2, 2010. 

No new games may be added after this date which would count for sectional seeding points.

(Except for sectional tournament games, all tournament games - including southern trips –

count as games towards schedule and final record.)  According to the NYS Baseball

Committee all games must be scheduled 7 inning games.  Teams scheduling 5 inning

games – single or double headers – will result in forfeit for both teams.  In October 1998

the NYSPHSAA waived baseball’s 10 run rule.  A league or section may not use the rule

without the approval of the NYSPHSAA's governing board.  This does not prohibit an

individual school or coach ending a contest prior to its full completion for whatever reason.

 

In sectional play the higher seeded (home) team in the 1st and 2nd round, hosting a game,

is responsible for all cost, including payment of the officials.  If the game is at a neutral site

due to the 75 mile limit, the host school will charge admission and Section V will cover the
