A little help if you will....
I was at an 14U ASA Friendly this past weekend in which the Umpires made a call, of an illegal pitch due to the catcher not being behind the plate (or close enough behind the plate) prior to the pitch then delivery of the pitch.
I was later told that according to the ASA rule book that the catcher could set up anywhere in the catchers box (which is roughly the very outside edges of each batters box and up to 10 feet deep). Is this TRUE.. If this is true then a catcher can set up for a pitch at the very outside corner of the batters pbx and anywhere from 5-8 feet back if for some reason she wanted to ????
Does anyone have an official answer to the limits of where a catcher has to set up, technically
Thanks in advance
