Baseball Rules in Black and White (College Edition) Coming Soon!

Baseball Rules in Black and White (College Edition), the second book in the Black and White series is quickly becoming a finished manuscript that will become available in August / September of 2017.  This work is a collaboration of well-respected baseball rules interpreters, assigners, and Division I & II college umpires and it is a privilege to be working with this elite group of rules experts.

We have spent months selecting and revising the specific College rules that are most often called, challenged or confused for this book.  Our goal is to provide an enhanced resource that presents a clearer understanding, while creating a greater retention of complex rules.   

Our Black and White format quickly locates a topic, gathers related rulings, and our rule language is revised (straightforward).  Just as with our High School edition of Black and White every revised ruling has the official rule and page number attached, all in large easy to see font. NCAA Umpires will be very happy to know our unique Black and White Format is especially beneficial clarifying the most complicated rulings such as Designated Hitter, P/DH.

 At this time there are seventeen chapters in our 2017-18 College Edition that include the following:

1. Balk, 2. Base Awards, (Squeeze Play / Catch & Carry), 3. Batting Out of Order, 4. Bench and Field Conduct, 5. Charged Conferences, 6. Designated Hitter, P/DH, 7. Infield Fly, 8. Interference - Batter’s, (Penalty), 9. Interference - Offensive, Umpire, Spectator, 10. Interference – Runner’s / Catcher’s, 11. Interference - Runner Hit by a Fair Batted Ball, 12. Obstruction, 13. Pitching Stances, 14. Running Lane, 15. Slide – Legal, Illegal, Force Play Slide Rule, 16. Substitutions – Definition, 17. Verbal & Written Warnings and Ejections

Baseball Rules in Black and White’s (College Edition) does require your time and effort (like every rule book) in order to benefit from its information. The difference with Black and White is, you will gain greater rule (clarity) knowledge in a shorter time, with better retention.
