Double First Base to be utilized for 2024 SEC Baseball Tournament - Southeastern Conference
The Southeastern Conference will implement the use of a double first base on an experimental basis throughout the SEC Baseball Tournament.www.secsports.com
Guidelines for using the double first base, as prescribed under NCAA playing rules, includes:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once the batter-runner reaches first base, they shall then use only the white base.
If this will prevent those bogus runner interference calls then maybe I can get behind it. Other than that I don’t think it belongs in baseball…![]()

There was a time where I just wanted to get to Hoover. Now, I don't really want the Vols to spend a lot of time there. Get your pitching set for the run to Omaha and get home to rest. Gotta think if AJ Russell is going to be a factor, it has to begin in Hoover, no? Otherwise, just shut him down until next year. Aside from that, just stay healthy and pray a DH steps forward. The regular season means way more to me than the SECT. Much better determination of how good a team really is vs Hoover.So would it hurt us badly if we lost the SEC tourney?
If you win all your games you would only play 4 games anyway. You play 3 on a standard weekend and you want to keep your pitchers on same basic schedule anyway. Its much ado about nothing no matter how Hoover plays out but I hope we play 4!There was a time where I just wanted to get to Hoover. Now, I don't really want the Vols to spend a lot of time there.
