Question
Is there a rule where the infield and outfield players must position themselves? Is there a rule how far in the 1st & 3rd basemen can come in. This is regarding an asa girls age 9 safety issue. Thank you

Answer
Hi pattybo7,

There is no ASA rule regarding defensive positioning (except in co-ed) except all defensive player but the catcher must be in fair territory when the pitcher delivers the pitch.

IMO at least the pitcher, f3 and f5 should be wearing helmets with face guards and a product called heart guard.
