If ball wedges into the outfield padding, it will be a dead ball. The top step of the dugouts, as well as the top step of the camera wells, is considered live. Balls that are caught and carried into the dugout or camera well will remain live (pending book rule of body control). Players are permitted to throw from in the dugout or in the camera well. If the ball hits the facing of the roof of the dugout, or any of the yellow interior walls of the dugout, it is a dead ball. For games that will be televised, there will be a rectangular area taped on the warning track on each side (on the outfield side of the camera wells) for still photographers. This area is used simply to quarantine the photographers. This will remain a live ball area. If the ball hits a photographer or the photographer’s equipment, or if the ball remains in the rectangular area, the ball remains live. If the ball gets lodged under the bullpen bench, the ball is dead… unless the defensive player goes in to retrieve it. If the ball goes into the tube that has the tarp rolled on it, the ball is dead…. unless the player goes in to retrieve it. The yellow ―home run‖ line on the outfield fence merely indicates the top of the fence. The ball must completely clear the yellow line and wall to be a home run or ground rule double. The silver colored chain link fencing behind the left field wall and in front of the left field bleachers is out of play. A ball that hits the chain linked fencing would be a home run or a ground rule double. The batter’s eye in centerfield is out of play. A ball that hits the batter’s eye would be a home run or a ground rule double. The flag poles in centerfield are out of play. A ball that hits the flagpoles would be a home run or a ground rule double. A player cannot use the tarp, or any other object that is in the field of play, to elevate himself. The backstop netting is live with no breaks. Defensive players must have 2 feet off of the concrete and be unassisted by dugout personnel when making a catch.
