Game ASA men's slowpitch. I am interested in the requirements for feet on pitching rubber, time requirements prior to the pitch.
I remember that the pitcher must have both feet in contact with the rubber and must pause for 1 second, but pitch within 10 seconds. Is this still the case?
Also,
In some leagues there is the double first base with the orange part in foul territory.
The orange part is to be used by the Batter-runner when there is a play on him at first base. My question is: Has ASA implemented a rule change in 2000 that allows for a Batter-runner to step next to 1st base on the same type of play when no Orange part is being used.
I wouldn't be asking these question if I had my 2000 rule book.
Ron,
In slow pitch, just 1 foot in contact with the rubber and it does not need to be within the width of the rubber.
With the double 1st base, the batter/runner may not decide to use the other side of the base. The would be an out on appeal for missing the base.
