Thank's, Mike. Please continue to update us.

By way of clarification, there have only been preliminary subcommittee meetings. This (the 43' pitching prediction) would represent the reactions of the Umpire Committee, and probably the JO Committee and Fast Pitch Playing Rules Committee. Regardless that input, there is still every possibility that the Playing Rules Committee (which meets tomorrow morning) might/could recommend something else, and that the National Council (which votes Thursday) may pass something different.
