New NCAA Baseball & Softball Rules Require Additional Stadium Padding
This year, a new rule was added to the NCAA rulebook requiring padding on all surfaces within a softball or baseball field that a player is likely to collide with. This will be effective in 2027. A major softball rule change was recently announced by the NCAA. It will be showing up in the 2024/2025 hardcopy rule book, but the text of the rule has already been published. In short, padding will be required on all hard surfaces that a player might collide with. Though this official rule change only applies to softball, the NCAA has already gone on the record to say that this change will be coming for baseball as well. It is expected to go into force in 2027.
Rule 2.15: Sideline and Home Run Fences By January 1, 2027, to require sideline and home run fences constructed of a hard material (e.g., wood, concrete or brick) to be padded. Padding must begin not higher than 1 foot off the ground and extend to the top of the wood, concrete or brick or 6 feet from the ground, whichever is shorter. This is required for any field hosting NCAA softball competition.
Overview: The padding requirement that already exists for backstops now also applies to sidelines and outfield fences; those requirements are extended all the way around the field. Notably, the sideline includes any rails or fencing in front of dugouts.
