AUTOMATIC OUTS: Automatic Outs ARE NOT assessed for players missing their turns at bat due to late arrival or early departure from a game. Automatic Outs are only assessed for players missing their turns at bat due to disciplinary removal from a game. Coaches are to notify the umpire and opposing coach if a player will be arriving late or leaving early. 

BALK RULE: with runners on 1B and 3B, it is a LEGAL MOVE for the pitcher to feint a throw to 3B before turning to step toward first. 6.2.4: While on the pitcher's plate, the pitcher may step toward occupied third and feint a throw, then turn to step toward first and throw (may feint the throw to first if disengaged from the plate). Note: NFHS rules still allow this move, even though MLB no longer does).
