I wasn't implying the rule book called it a bad pitch, *i* call it a bad pitch. A "slow pitch pitch" is defined in the rule and it has to have a certain arch. So I my angle was if the rule book says a slow pitch must have minimum height before its called "to flat", then there must be something about the fastpitch not being allowed to go over a certain height. Or else were playing slow pitch again.

However, I did not know the answer. So I asked
