Rules for The Swing Science Indoor Hitting League

Games are played utilizing out HitTrax systems. The HitTrax gaming module calls balls & strikes, and awards hits or outs depending on the exit velocity and launch angle of the balls off the player’s bat.

  • Each team will consist of 3 players.
  • All regular season games will be scheduled as a doubleheader ,with each team playing 2 games per week.
  • Games will be 7 innings or 35 minutes, whichever comes first. No new inning will start after 30 minutes of play and there are no extra innings.
  • If the home team is batting at the 35 minute mark they are allowed to finish the inning.  
  • If the game is tied after 7 innings or 35 minutes, the game will end in a tie.
  • Home team selects the stadium.
  • Bat Restrictions: All metal/composite bats must meet USA, USSSA or BBCOR standards. All wood (non composite) bats are permissible.
  • Because HitTrax calls Balls and Strikes, misfired balls from the pitching machine will not be replayed. As in a regular game, 3 strikes is an out, 4 balls is a walk.
  • There will be an umpire assigned to each game to adjudicate any malfunctions of the HitTrax

system.

  • Any pitch that does not register ball or strike or hit in play will be replayed with the current

count.

  • Foul balls or swings and misses that do not register will be added as a strike (unless the foul ball is with 2 strikes).
  • If a ball is put in play, and registers with HitTrax as a hit, out, or foul ball, that ruling is final.
  • Any other HitTrax issue will be adjudicated at the discretion of the umpire.
  • Each team is responsible to collect balls after their half inning ends.
  • Helmets must be worn at all times.
  • No Bunting allowed.
  • There is a ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY for taunting, poor sportsmanship or throwing bats/

helmets. Violations will result in player disqualification.

  • Teams must have at least three players present at game time to play. If three players are not present a player may be borrowed from another team.
  • At the end of 7 weeks, teams will be seeded. Weeks 8 and 9 will be a single elimination tournament playoff

Replacement Players:

Throughout the season, there may be situations that require teams to utilize a replacement player. Please let us know in advance if possible so that we can have the rosters set prior to the start of the game.

Q&A

Q: Is this League for players of all levels?

A: The Indoor Hitting League is designed for intermediate and advanced players. The speed with which games progress through the HitTrax baseball simulator unfortunately makes it impossible for our coaches to provide extensive coaching or swing tips to the players. If you are interested in batting practice and instruction for your player, we do offer a variety of Lesson Packages with our top Swing Science coaches. Please see the Swingscience.com website for lesson and cage rental information.

Q: How are the balls being pitched? Off a machine or off a live batting practice thrower?

A: The pitches will be coming from our Probatter pitching machine with a video simulator of the pitcher.

Q: How hard will the pitching machine be set to?

A: The pitching machine will be set to the average speed of a fastball for that age group. Later in the season we may adjust the speed to be slightly faster or mix in curveballs as the boys collectively improve their hitting skills

Q: What if I miss a week or if a teammate misses a week?

A: If you or a teammate is missing a week, you may bring a replacement player or borrow a player from another tea
