Under NFHS rules, can a girl pitch slow in a fast pitch game? The question arises because Rule 6, Section 1, Article 3b (fast pitch regulations) states that the hand must be below the hip. However, Rule 6, Section 4, Article 4 (slow pitch regulations) states that a slow pitch "...must be delivered at a moderate speed underhand, below the hip..." Since it is impossible to deliver the ball below the hip in slow pitch, does "below the hip" in both sections mean something other than release? And can a girl pitch slow pitch, with unlimited arch, in a high school fast pitch game??
