Try the slow pitch section.

There is no fast pitch (NFHS or ASA) requirement for the pitcher to show the ball.
Speaking ASA

There is no requirement in SP, either, to "present" the ball. Hasn't been for over 15 years.

The only requirement in SP is that the ball is in front of the body while facing the plate. It can be held in the bare hand, glove or both and not necessarily visible to the batter.


Chuck, don't hijack the thread, this is a different issue.
