My friends... in Italy - as you already know - ISF rules are enforced.
So that a pitcher must STOP not less than 2 seconds.
It's not a PAUSE: it must be a stop.
No problems with it: generally when you have a pitcher who doesn't respect this, you can have a little talk with her/her coach and fix it before the game starts (just take a look to warm up pitches and you will know...).
Do you ask yourself WHY this stop PRIOR the pitch starts is so important?
Because ISF is trying to make softball a BATTING sport... not only a 1-0 sport with tens of K3s.
And if this intention is all right with countries like Italy... you should enforce this rule in USA, too; where pitching mechanics are (probably) the best in the world...
Just my opinion...
Ciao
