I live in NH and next year our varsity high school pitching distance will be changed from 40 to 43 feet. Neighboring Massachusetts changed last year or the year before.

Working a tournament this weekend, this was being discussed, and some of the problems it might cause on multi-use fields, i.e. pitchers plates at 40, 43, 46 and 50 feet.

Anyways, as my partner and I were leaving the equipment check to do the pre-game, I overheard something about some NCAA pitching rule changes for next year. I didn't quite understand what they were saying, but I think one comment I heard was that the pitcher could do anything they wanted from behind the pitcher's plate. Not sure what that means, or if any of that is true.

I don't do NCAA, but I do follow some of the games on TV.

Has anyone heard something similar and explain?

Thanx,
