I thought the double first base was a rule in college baseball this year, yet they are not using it at the Astros Classic.

What's up? What's the real rule? Is it just an SEC thing?

I believe double first base is now always allowed, but not mandatory.

In baseball, double first bases are not mandatory, but starting with the 2025 season, the NCAA has approved their use in regular-season and postseason games across all divisions. An exception applies to the 2025 Division I postseason, where the NCAA mandates the use of double first bases during Regionals, Super Regionals, and the College World Series.

Ah, OK, so just mandated in the postseason.

In that case, it's a good idea to play with it in the regular season to get used to it.

It's just gotta' be tough to switch between the two! We've played our first 7 games with it, and now we're playing without it.

At least you noticed. I certainly didn't despite watching at least a part of all three of yesterday's games.

I seriously doubt the field has the anchors set up for double bases.

In your defense, we didn't have a lot of guys reach first base.

I only noticed when there was a near collision there last night. I don't even really see the green bag anymore. It's like I've tuned it out.
