When their foot turns is when you pretty much have to call a leap as its so obvious.

If its a what I call the Geronimo Leap where the toe is pointed down but I would have to put my ear to the ground to see it and its hmm is that a leap? ... well its probably a divot there and not really a leap.

Had a varsity pitcher doing just that this season. I got her twice in the first three innings when I could clearly see her because she turned her foot. After that she always kept the toe down. I spent the rest of the game thinking, "Is she or isn't she? I can't tell for sure."
