MLB Implements Experimental Home Plate Collision Rule

(New York, NY) -- Major League Baseball is putting an experimental rule in place regarding home plate collisions for the 2014 season.  Rule 7.13 prevents runners from deviating from their direct path to the plate in order to initiate contact with the catcher. Conversely, catchers will not be allowed to block the pathway of a runner attempting to score without possession of the ball. Instant replay will be available to review potential violations of this rule.
