• The article discusses the Amateur Softball Association rule
concerning the on-deck batter. The rule states that the on-deck
batter shall take a position within the lines of the on-deck circle
nearest the offensive team area. The rule has been adopted by the
Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association. According to Tom
Drohner, a coach at a Stevens Point-area high school in Wisconsin,
any rule that is aimed at the safety of the athletes is a step in the
right path.
