NASHVILLE, Tenn. - eTradeWire -- In a move applauded by coaches, players, and safety advocates, college baseball programs nationwide have officially adopted the double first base rule for this season. The rule, which was first piloted in the 2024 Southeastern Conference (SEC) tournament, is designed to reduce collisions and injuries by designating the white base for fielders and a colored base—typically orange or green—for runners.

Under the new guidelines, batter-runners must use the colored portion of the base on routine plays, while fielders claim the white portion. Exceptions are allowed for certain scenarios, such as dropped third strikes or fielding plays that pull the first baseman into foul territory. Early reports from the SEC's 2024 trial showed fewer collisions and cleaner plays, prompting widespread adoption across collegiate programs.
