RSPA Info - What's New

Updated October 30, 2024
All information may change as a result of switch to NSA.
We will continue to address the RSPA Code of Conduct.
We are really going to clamp down on incidents, trash talking and umpire abuse.
Player ejection for umpire abuse or any physical altercation will result in an automatic 3 game suspension.
UMPIRES: All umpires make mistakes, even the major league umpires. They do not deserve to be abused, yelled at or threatened.

Teams are required to play in one tournament $400 entry fee.

RSPA Possible Rule Changes for 2025:
• We have to look at is which rules we want to adopt from NSA
and any existing RSPA rules that we want to change.
With the merge of SPN-SPOA and the rule changes there, they are not that far off from NSA rules.
But we will look at all rules and see which rules we want to adopt.
• We will discuss the following possible rule change:
- going to 1 and 1 count.
- using "big ball-small ball".
- small ball/big ball
- pitchers mask mandatory
- distance between bases 65’ or 70'
- female batter option to walk
- male/female pitcher-catcher combination
- pitching arc 6’-10’ or 6’-12’
- bunting
- stealing
- home run rule change from an out to a single.
