Generally, I have only seen it once in a Varsity game. The pithcher was so smooth and it was a, "I should have called that but no one said anything, so I left it at that, type of move."
By the rules, technically, officially it is a "ball". If I say that I may choose to ignore it, we will probably have a three page thread on rules that officials discretionarally call. Similar to the penalty strike for stepping out of the box.
Very obvious switch I would call otherwise, as I have already stated, play ball.
Bottom line here is that this just doesn't GENERALLY happen and I am not an OOO.
