Important Notice
THROWING OF BAT The batter's, "Failure to control the release of the bat," is what the umpire(s) should be looking to judge. This is a judgment call by the umpire(s). There is no priority for the calling umpire, meaning a plate or base umpire could judge and make the call. Ultimately this comes down to umpire(s) having common sense and some decent judgment! If failure to control the release of the bat results in any legalized on field personal being put in harms way the situation should be acknowledged, enforced, and penalized accordingly. Depending on the dimensions of your field and the depth of the backstop. If a bat was released with enough force to hit the fencing or backstop, an umpire(s) may want to consider enforcement. It's still a judgment call. Bench warnings must first be issued before any enforcement of penalties.
Nations Rules: 8U & below 1st offense-bench warnings are issued to both teams regardless of which team committed the initial offense. 2nd & subsequent offense-immediate dead ball, the batter is out, and NO runners advance.
9U & above 1st offense-bench warnings are issued to both teams regardless of which team committed the initial offense. 2nd & subsequent offense-wait for the play to conclude, result of the play will stand, the batter is ejected, if batter safely reaches bases, a courtesy or pinch runner will be substituted for offender. If roster batting, the ejected players position in the line up will be scratched. Everyone below his position in the line up will move up one place, and NO out will be taken due to the ejection. This is not considered a malicious or unsportsmanlike play. Exception: If ejections drop a team below 9 players, an automatic out will be called in the 9th position of the line up. If ejections drop a team below 8 players the game will be suspended and forfeit.
