USSSA Coach Pitch Rules
We just started with USSSA, and I am tasked with pitching duties, and I have questions.
What are the rules regarding where to pitch from? Must I start from the 45' rubber? (Then why the line from the plate that must be straddled or have a foot on?)
The big question really is, must a remain in contact with the rubber? Or can I move closer to the plate/batter to deliver the pitch?
(We have a player that is all of 3 1/2 foot tall, and he has an ittty bitty strike zone, so getting closer is better for both of us)
Seems basic, but all of us in our town are new to this, and thought this forum could probably give us the answer.
Thanks Guys!
