2019 NFHS Rule Changes

Rule question? Get it answered here.

Beginning with the 2019 high school season, an illegal pitch will no longer award a base to runners. It is merely a ball on the batter. This is something that many have been clamoring for, well for years. Will we see an increase in illegal pitch calls?

The change may be a double-edged blade.

The awarding of a base was held as a deterrent. IMO, umpires who did not call the IP before will either continue to not call them or go overboard and call every little twerk they had not seen before an IP

Hopefully, the umpires will learn to do what they are supposed to do and just call the rule as it is
