Working a tournament this weekend, this was being discussed, and some of the problems it might cause on multi-use fields, i.e. pitchers plates at 40, 43, 46 and 50 feet.
Anyways, as my partner and I were leaving the equipment check to do the pre-game, I overheard something about some NCAA pitching rule changes for next year. I didn't quite understand what they were saying, but I think one comment I heard was that the pitcher could do anything they wanted from behind the pitcher's plate. Not sure what that means, or if any of that is true.
I don't do NCAA, but I do follow some of the games on TV.
Has anyone heard something similar and explain?
Thanx,

Don't do NCAA so I haven't heard anything about rules changes, but Oregon went to 43' this past season as well. I didn't hear anything about problems with schools getting it changed, or multiple plates on a field (I only had a few games on multi-use fields).
(We were reminded that should there be a question dealing with pitching distances on the NFHS test, the "correct" distance was 40'
)
