I was watching the Maryland 3-A high school championship game Friday and thought there was something odd about what one pitcher was doing but couldn't put my finger on it. By the end of the second inning I realized what it was. She stepped on the rubber each time with the ball and hand in her glove, held that positon for 2-3 seconds, and then went into her pitching motion. Hands were never seperated at any time before the pitch.
Lots of questions then entered my mind. Has she gotten away with this all year (they were the defending state champions)? Did the ump ever notice it (as I said it took me a couple of innings to figure it out). And how would I explain it to the coach that it took me 2 innings to catch it?
That's my question to you. If it took you a couple of innings to realize that the pitcher had been illegal since the beginning how would you handle it?
