Question Is a player required to slide when there is a play at homeplate or any base.
Answer Good morning Robert,
Under ASA rules a runner is not required to slide. Local rules can of course change that for league play. In my opinion if there is such a local rule it is a mistake because of liability. "I HAD to slide and broke my leg....where's my lawyer".
So in any ASA qualifying or championship play a runner is never required to slide.
