Well, yes, you have misrepresentd the facts. Every good pitcher above the age of 13 will vary his delivery to the plate. If they didn't the runner would key off of this and steal bases at will off of his first move. Didn't you ever play the game?

I can see it now. A right handed pitcher from the set with R2 only brings his knee up to a full balance point before delivering the pitch in the first inning.

The third inning comes around and with R1 only he slide steps as he delivers the ball in order to hold or freeze the runner.


Now you're going to call time and balk him for making a legal move because you think he has to use the same exact delivery on every pitch.

Funny stuff.

Tim.
