BASEBALL ETIQUETTE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Wear your club baseball uniform correctly. Take pride in

your presentation and the image of the sport.

2. Do not ‘steal bases’ after being 10 runs ahead. Advance

on a batted or played ball. Do not embarrass your fellow

opponent.

3. Pitchers and catcher should always apologise to the

opposition player on a hit pitch ball or collision.

4. Do not lift your team by criticising the opposition, always

talk up positive remarks to your own players.

5. Do not excel or acclaim failures, always praise good plays

from all players.

6. Always respect and thank the opposition, umpires and

scorers after a game.

7. Never use the infield of a baseball diamond to warm up

before a game. Use it only for pre-game fielding drills.

8. When making player position and substitute changes

always inform the Chief Umpire first.

9. During a game, players and coaches should only engage

in conversations with their own bench. Do not engage in

discussions with the opposition or public.

10.Take ‘cheap outs’ out of your game. Respect a good

return to a base on a pick off or a slide into a base. Do

not keep holding on to the player.
