I posted this on another board, but know that several of you
do not frequent that board. So putting it here.
This happen in AFA Nats. 18U.
F1 follows everything correctly, feet proper,
arm swing, etc. Just before hand gets to far
to the side, she releases the ball from behind
her back. [F1 right handed released to left side]
This was allowed in the 2002 18U Nats.
Some wanted to call it illegal because of deception.
UIC's said it was legal because it meet all the
requirements of a legal delivery. I called illegal
because of AFA Section 10 d. The release of the
ball and follow through of the hand and wrist must
be forward and past the straight line of the body.
How do you guys/gals see this?
BTW - After allowing the pitch, she threw 5 of 6
for strikes.
