| June 12, 2015 SSUSA Staff 3489 posts | Wes - Bad call if this was an SSUSA sanctioned event under SSUSA rules ... §1.62 - STRIKE ZONE MAT A strike zone mat will be used. The rectangular mat will be 19" (48.26 cm) wide and 34½” (87.63 cm) in length. The mat shall be made of rubber or other suitable material. The mat is placed over home plate and be aligned with the front edge of home plate. DEFENSE: A defensive player making a play at Home plate will be allowed to complete the play by touching any portion of the strike mat. If, during the play, the mat is dislodged, the defensive player shall touch home plate, rather than the strike zone mat. |
