Double First Base Rule for 2027
Dear Baseball Coaches,
As many of you likely saw yesterday, the NFHS has approved the use of a double first base for high school baseball, beginning with the 2027 season. This change is designed to reduce the risk of collisions between runners and fielders at first base.
More information about the rule change can be found on the OHSAA website:

As you prepare for this change, please consider supporting one of our coaches association sponsors—such as Rawlings and Game One—when purchasing your double first base.
Yours in Baseball,
Brian Hiscox
President
Ohio High School Baseball Coaches Association
