With a new season often comes new rules and regulations. For college baseball, the most important change is the implementation of the safety bag.
The safety bag, a popular part of the game at high school levels, is a second, colored bag directly to the right of first base. When a player is running through first base, they can step on the safety bag and be considered safe, preventing a need for the fielders and runner to occupy the same bag. It lowers the chances of scary and threatening collisions that have injured players over the years.
