"Scientifically, in order to change direction he must stop. (Think a ball can't come down until it stops going up.)
I think if a full second was required, then they should say a full second."
As I said "Im sure there are some technical scientific umpires out there that may disagree".
A ball will reach its apex when it acheves zero velocity and the earths gravitatioal pull take over. Does it theoretically stop? Yes. Now how you can compare a ball to a human being and their ability to change direction without stopping is beyond me.
I repeat, I dont think a FRACTION of a second (SHOULD or COULD) be considered a complete stop.
Mabey the rules could be changed to "the pitcher must come to a 2 mississippi stop". Just my opinion
