Guest: Rich Beaudoin
Notes from Mary Hodgins:
• Traber Burns asked for Clarification on Pitch Count and Catching Rules:
Rules are firm, cannot waive. To pitch, you must observe proper days of rest between games, you cannot finish out a batter. 'Finishing a batter' only applies when you are at your maximum pitch for age. Catcher to pitcher - three innings only, not even 1 pitch or catch in 4th inning. Catchers in minors can only catch 3 innings.
Players moving from majors to minors: it is expressly written in rule book that "majors spots shall be filled" however, Ashland little league says parental consent Per Michael Bates. Not fair to minor managers who pick the 11 year old to be their best player and are going to rely on them (Traber Burns) Len Gerken said could work with just 11 and no other coaches objected so this is how we proceeded
(Kate Evans) We need to have a timeframe, a point of time in season where you can do it and then after no
(Daryn McLennan) why not just work with player pool
Reminder that player pool players cannot play 1st base, only can play outfield and hit last
Randy - field work, minors not doing field work, need a reminder, Chace Anderson will send out email. Kids are hitting balls against the fence in the batting cage.
Mary Hodgins- Car wash packets handed out. Ashland High Varsity Cheer may be able to help with car wash as volunteers, Michelle McMahan to contact coach and let Mary know.
