However, I've lost the train of thought as to how this relates to the OP question of an illegal pitch....
Let me go back and see if I can get back in the groove (Embarrassed) |
Okay, I'm working on ASA, but let's go with this NFHS rule for a second.
This would cover the OP
assuming you consider the act of bringing the hands together part of the pitching motion.
However, the comment I'm questioning is starting a pitching motion before the hands are separated. And again, even if there were something in ASA, now you would need to define a "pitching motion" 'cause there are probably as many of those as there are umpires.
