Is there a rule in either league limiting the number of players who can be on the pitcher's mound during a visit by the manager?
I�m not sure if this is in the book because I could not see it. But in our little league the manager is allowed to have the infield players on the mound. If the outfielders come in to the meeting the team must be off the mound. Also you are only allowed to have one meeting per inning that has more players than just your pitcher/catcherAnswer:In MLB there is no rules that state how many players may be involved in a meeting on the mound, however, the thought of in MLB bringing outfielders in to discuss defensive strategy seems a little excessive considering they are all professionals and most defensive strategies wouldn't involve outfielders. Now the answer above, if you are referencing a MLB rules, the coaching staff may visit the mound only once an inning unless due to injury that the trainer accompanies you with and no strategy talk can take place (no matter who is in that meeting), the 2nd visit must include a pitching change
