The 2018 College Edition of Baseball Rules in Black and White is Ready to Soar

Today, after many months and countless hours we have completed The 2018 College Edition of Baseball Rules in Black and White manuscript. Not only has it been developed through a collaboration of dedicated and highly respected umpires, it has been influenced by dozens of umpires from all across the country that have directly and indirectly helped guide me and the final product.

Over 13,800 words, 470 rulings, penalties, examples and summaries all converted from rule book language into basic, easy to read and understand English. Every converted ruling includes the original NCAA rule and page number.

We have gathered many dozens of related rulings and organized them under their own dedicated chapter.  Fifteen chapters of the most frequently called and confusing topics in the game of college baseball. We have presented all of them logically, in an easy to locate, read, and retain format.

After reading and retaining this enhanced resource you will see immediate results. You will begin to make calls without hesitation, with confidence. You will quickly recall and apply rulings from this book. You will be able to understand why we are proud to say, we have created “a better way to learn and apply the rules of baseball”. 

I am also pleased to say The 2018 College Edition of Baseball Rules in Black and Whitewill be available to buy online in a few short weeks. It will give me even greater pleasure when this great baseball rules resource is in the hands of umpires everywhere, helping them gain the mastery and confidence of baseball rules knowledge they deserve and desire.
