Given I don't see many 62mph pitchers or super-quick motions, I sometimes see this violation from behind the plate without looking for it. Even when then watching to verify it, I can pick up the ball in time by framing both. That said, my main point here is that it can be seen by base umpires in B or C positions, as can not joining hands, etc. If we can tell from a CF camera, a BU on the field can.
Of course, that belies the point above that there are no illegal pitches on TV softball, maybe not in any D1 game.
