As if the Justin Osborne All American Wifflefest wasn’t exciting enough, the powers that be have added two new rules to enhance the game that much more. There will be one new rule to help the batting team and one new rule to help the fielding team. See the new rules below.

| Not a real wiffleball bat |
While batting, one person on a team can use the BIG RED BAT for one at-bat per game, per team. The at-bat starts when the first pitch is thrown, and the batter can’t switch after the pitch is thrown.
While fielding, the fielding team can place Ozzie Smith at any position in the field to help them field. If a batted ball hits Ozzie Smith on the fly, the batter is out. If a batted ball hits Ozzie Smith after bouncing, but in front of the white single line, the batter is out. If a batted ball hits Ozzie Smith after bouncing, but behind the single line, the batter will be awarded a single or double, depending on the position of Ozzie Smith.
