Speaking ASA
I'm sorry, but where do you find "bad pitches" or "slow pitch pitches" in the rule book or umpire manual?
Unorthodox does not equal illegal, just means it is different. If the pitched ball passes through the strike zone and does not hit the plate, why would you call it anything other than a strike?
