The Penalty Box. Similar to hockey, if the pitcher hits a batter, the fielding team loses a player to the Penalty Box until an out is recorded.
Jacked baseball rules are all designed to increase offense and add more exciting moments.
Every major sport across the U.S. has adapted its rules over time to benefit the offense and create a more exciting game. Every sport except baseball. America’s two most popular sports, the NFL & NBA, continue to change rules to restrict the defense and give the offense more room for scoring. This increased offense has led to more touchdown celebrations, more slam dunks, more action, and a more watchable game for the casual fan.
The creators of the event are Outlier Events, a national festival and special event company based in Kalamazoo. Outlier Events has made waves across the country for their “over the top” events including the world’s first Donut And Beer Festival, the country’s first Tater Tot Festival, State Mac And Cheese Festivals, and many more.
