Has this been a thing all year at aTm or is this a new addition? I’ve watched LSU every game all year and have never seen this.

It is a new thing. Pretty certain it isn't just A&M

It's a "both teams agree before the game" type rule, I believe
It's for player safety

Interesting. I haven’t seen this in any other sec game this year. If it’s a wild throw that takes the 1st basemen behind the bag, are they able to utilize this as an extension of the bag or can you only use the front (white) bag?

Could’ve used this my last year in 2017. Had a season/career ending injury my senior year in college from a collision on a slow roller to 3rd that was thrown up the line. Glad they’re adding that.

quote:
Guidelines for Use of the Double First Base - Rule 1.7.b. Interpretations: When using the double first base the following guidelines shall be followed to properly administer the playing rules. 1. A batted ball hitting or bounding over the white portion of the bag is a fair ball. A batted ball hitting or bounding over the colored (orange or green) bag without first touching or bounding over the white section is foul. 2. When an initial play is being made on the batter-runner at first base, the defense must use the white section of the double base and the batter-runner must use the colored base except in the case of a dropped third strike. After a dropped third strike, if the fielder is drawn to the side of the colored base, the runner would go the white base and the fielder to the colored base. On a dropped third strike, the fielder and batter-runner may touch either the white or colored base. 3. If there is a play on the batter-runner and the batter-runner touches only the white portion of the double base and the defense appeals prior to the batter-runner returning to first base, it is treated the same as missing the base. Penalty: Batter-runner is out. 4. On extra-base hits or other balls hit to the outfield when there is no chance for a play to be made at the double base, the batter-runner may touch either the white or colored section of the base. Should, however, the batter-runner reach and go beyond first base, they may only return to the white section of the base. 5. Once the batter-runner reaches first base, they shall then use only the white base.
It’s all run together but it’s the only way I know how to post it…..

This is an experimental thing, but look for it to become a thing in baseball next year for D1 baseball. Softball uses the double bag at first base already, and now baseball will also look to it in the name of “player safety”.

I've always been a fan of it.
It is a no brainer in my book.
