Question
I play in a softball league in lakeland, fl and we go by asa rules. Is there a rule that states that a team has to have four infielders on defense?

Answer
Hi Cameron,

I pulled this out of the question pool (graveyard) for you.

In ASA ball only co-ed requires specific infielders and outfielders.

In Men's and Women's ball the only requirement is that all defensive players (exc the catcher) be in fair territory at the pitch.
