Geesh, no. All I can do is vouch for its validity. I believe it came from inquiries to Andy Konyar, and then it was passed to umpires at the Regional clinics. That was a couple of seasons ago when the illegal pitch first replaced the balk. I'm sure someone out there will know and clarify exactly where it came from. But I know it's illegal in Williamsport's eyes.
