Fed casebook play 1.1.7A states that the pitcher and a player without a mask "may play catch". It doesn't state that they have to throw overhand. The NC Supervisior of Officials has interpertated that to mean that a person is warming up a pitcher when they are in a crouch. They are playing catch when both are standing erect.
Fed baseball is treated the same way.(It has a identical casebook play) Does your interpertation mean that a person playing catch with the pitcher in a Fed baseball game without a mask must throw underhanded? (big G)
