2012 ASA Rule and Code Changes
The ASA National Office has published the 2012 ASA Rule Changes which will go into effect January 1, 2012. The rule changes include (but are not limited to) extending the base distance in men's slow pitch to 70 feet, the legal use of senior bats in the senior slow game,  pitch, clarification on grip tape used on bats and the outlawing of heating/warming devices for bats. As always, ASA rules are written for ASA Championship Play. Teams should always check with their league directors and tournament directors to understand what rules will be in play in a specific game. ASA also has updated the 2012 changes to the ASA Code.
