DCK Summer Season 2025

-We do a 4/4 pitch count, so 4 balls is a walk, 4 fouls and/or strikes is an out

-No infield fly rule

-Runners can advance on first touch of a ball in the air, it does not have to be on the catch. To clarify the 3rd rule. When tagging up a runner can leave on first touch. They must still tag the base first Then can leave when contact with the ball is made and not have to wait for the catch to be secured.

-Rounding to 2nd base, if you are running to 1st base and turn to make a run to 2nd but run back to 1B, players can tag you. If you just run through 1B and then just stop and turn to walk back, runners cannot be tagged at that point.

-Strike zone - Minimum of 2 bounces before home plate and strike zone is a ball width high and on either side of the plate (there will be a painted strike zone)

-No bunting rules or slow pitch

-Playing a base - if you are making an out on a base or in a baseline, please make sure you are leaving a runner room, so stand on the corner of the base so the runner can still get to the base

-1B - there is an extra bag for a safety bag, runner goes to the outside bag while fielder is on the inside bag - Sliding FEET first into first base will result in an automatic out
