NCAA baseball's rules and regulations are noticeably different than those of professional baseball. For example, college players wield aluminum baseball bats while they are at the plate. In professional leagues, players use wooden bats exclusively. There are several other rules that stand out in NCAA baseball.

Base Coach
-
When the pitcher pitches the baseball, both base coaches must be in the coaches' box at the time the ball is released. A warning is given to the coach for the first offense in any given game, and the coach is thrown out if he is caught out of the box again.
Invalid At-Bat
-
An invalid at-bat occurs when a player is found to be using an illegally altered bat, such as flattening the bat for an enhanced ability to hit the ball a long distance. A player is out if the at-bat already started before the umpire declared the bat illegal.
-
Checked Swing
-
If any player or coach argues a checked-swing call with an umpire, the call will be considered a matter of balls and strikes, so the argument will be automatic grounds for being thrown out of the game.
Ball Hits Batter
-
If a batted ball hits the batter after hitting the ground or the plate, the ball is considered foul.
Foul Ball
-
No matter the circumstances, foul ball calls are final and cannot be reversed. Arguments will risk the players or coaches involved being thrown out of the game.
