ILLEGAL PITCHES

• Plate Umpire
• Calls all illegal pitches that pertain to the hands.
• Calls all illegal pitch for stepping outside the 24-inch width of the pitcher’s
plate.
• Calls illegal pitches for foreign substance.
• Base Umpire
• Calls all illegal pitches for foot violations.
• Calls illegal pitches for foreign substance.
Not exactly what I was thinking, but something...

My main issue with those instructions is "all illegal pitches for foot violations" and "all illegal pitches for stepping outside the 24..." overlap.
BU has the best angle on feet, with the exception of the 24"... so that's their main focus. PU gets pretty much everything else.
