She pitches for Miss State. I find it hard to believe that her current coach (Jay Miller) allows it but I suppose since the SEC didn't outlaw it, he thinks it's OK.
This gal was on a team in the AFA 18U Nationals a few years ago.
After much discussion by all the "to be's" they decided it was also
legal. A very good friend of mine had them in a conference game
this year, called the pitch illegal, and was handed a letter from from
someone within the NCAA chain stated that the pitch was legal. So guess
it will be a hot topic again. She does not use it much, but when thrown
it was usually for a strike. Seems like a violation of 6.3f
