Joe West called an IP in the Cardinal-Pirate game tonight. The Pirate pitcher was in the windup with nobody on base. He brought his right knee up (he was a LHP) and held it up for abouttwo seconds, stopping his motion. He then continued and delivered the pitch. West called an IP. Is that a good call? It seems to be a proibited act according to OBR and NFHS. They both say that after the TOP, the pitcher has to deliver the ball without interruption. NF says that a violation is an IP, but there is no penalty mentioned in OBR that I see.
What do you think??? The Pirates are playing the game under protest, although it is a moot point know because the run didn't score. It was on a 3-2 pitch, so it resulted in a walk.
