He can't do that!
Adult wood bat game last night (OBR), I have the plate. The home teams brings in a left handed pitcher who basically threw side-armed but would drop down even lower on occasion.
We've got a runner on first so pitch is throwing from the stretch.
Pitch 1 - strike, right down the middle.
Pitch 2 - pitcher uses a slide-step, ball, high
Pitch 3 - pitcher brings his knee up to his chest and then drops down and submarines the ball, swing and miss.
Batter starts to complain - he can't do that...he can't change his delivery.
I tell the batter to get in the box.
Pitch 4 - pitcher again slide-steps and batter goes down swinging.
On his way back to the dugout he's still complaining.
