WVSSAC NFHS Baseball Part I Practice Test

What should players do during a timeout for equipment adjustment?

Continue playing while adjusting equipment. Stop play, adjust equipment, and await umpire’s signal to resume. Run to the dugout and not resume. Call the coach.

Correct Answer:

Stop play, adjust equipment, and await umpire’s signal to resume.

Explanation:

Stopping play for equipment adjustment keeps things safe and orderly. When a timeout for equipment adjustment is granted, the ball is dead, players pause to fix gear, and the umpire controls when to resume. After the adjustments are complete, the umpire signals to resume play. Carrying on while the ball is live would be unsafe, running to the dugout and not resuming ends the moment, and calling the coach isn’t the procedure for handling equipment issues during a timeout.
