Communication technology has reached high school baseball
By Wesley Sykes, managing editor
he use of a one-way
communication device
between a coach in the
dugout and a team's catcher for the
purposes of calling pitches will be
permitted in high school baseball
beginning in 2024.
This change to Rules 1-6-2
and 3-2-5 was one of five rules
revisions approved by the National Federation of State
High School Associations (NFHS) Baseball Rules
Committee at its June meeting in Indianapolis.
The recommendations were subsequently approved by
the NFHS Board of Directors.
The new rules prohibit coaches from communicating
with any other player besides the catcher on defense
and with any player while batting. The coach must also
be in the dugout when using the communication device.

" This change is consistent with the growth of the
game and is indicative of a measured and responsible
approach to enable technology into our level of
competition, " said Elliot Hopkins, NFHS Director
of Sports and Educational Services and liaison to
the Baseball Rules Committee. " The committee has
made these changes to maintain the balance between
offense and defense; increase the pace of play; and will
responsibly manage technology so there is no advantage
gained by schools that have more available resources
than some of their contemporaries. Creating a level
playing field is paramount to education-based athletics. "
With the change, state athletic associations, like
the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA),
will now implement the rule. FHSAA baseball director
Robbie Lindeman said electronic communication
devices have been an interest of member schools over
the last couple of years.
