Thanks for the feedback. Our pitcher starts well inside the 24" but her heel hits the line across here body when she throws a curve or change up. I was just concerned about 80% of her foot being out at delivery towards the plate. We actually put a line down to see how much or if she was outside the 24". We know coaches are going to say something because it is a good pitch and just want to have the facts that her foot touching the imaginary line constitutes a legal pitch. We don't have the lines on the field in our state for HS.
