Need Rules? Visit our Umpires Page for MLB Rules. NEPL plays by MLB Rules EXCEPT where NEPL rules are applicable for competitive & safety reasons.
The defense must use the white portion and the offense must use the orange portion when there is a play at first base. The exception would be if the throw to first base is coming from foul territory. In this case, the offense should use the white portion and the defense should use the orange portion. If NO PLAY is being made on the batter/runner the player is considered to have touched 1st base if they touch either portion of the base. Please keep in mind that the purpose of the safety base is to eliminate collisions.
