The Rochester District Umpires' Association (RDUA) provides umpire services to baseball and softball programs in the Rochester, NY area. Our primary purpose is to service boys high school baseball. We also realize the importance of serving developmental leagues and programs that allow players to continue enjoying the game when their school playing days are over. The RDUA offers members the opportunity to receive NFHS Certification and ASA Softball Registration and Certification through a clinic program that is provided at no additional costs. Please use our contact info page if you are interested in becoming an RDUA umpire.

The BBCOR decertification process has been implemented for:

 

  • Marucci CAT5 33-inch model
  • Reebok Vector TLS 32-inch model

 

 

Changes to high school baseball rules will include an additional example of how a batter can interfere with the catcher’s ability to field or throw.

Currently, there are three (3) non-wood baseball bats that the NFHS has decertified for use in high school competition. This short list is subject to change. Additional non-wood baseball bats could possibly be added to this list. The decertified bats are the following:
  • Marucci Cat 52 33" non-wood baseball bat (Decertification notice date: February 21, 2012)
  • Reebok Vector TLS 32" non-wood baseball bat (Decertification notice date: March 26, 2012)
  • Reebok Vector TLS 33" non-wood baseball bat (Decertification notice date: March 26, 2012)

These bats should be considered non-compliant and subject to NFHS Baseball Rules 4-1-3b and 7-4-1a. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact B. Elliot Hopkins, NFHS Baseball Rules Editor/National Interpreter at (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) or (317) 822-6900, extension 5757.
