In college, the ''flagrant collision'' rule discourages, but does not prohibit, collisions at home plate and on the bases. Instead, only ''unnecessary and violent'' collisions are outlawed. While defensive players are allowed to block the plate/base with clear possession of the ball, offensive players must take steps to ensure contact with the fielder is legal--for instance, it must be below the waist. Violations of this rule carry similar penalties to the high school malicious contact rule.
