ASA 6.1.A Do you interperate this as both feet have to be completely within the 24" or just partially within? Question came up when a pitcher had 1/2 of her foot on the rubber and the other half beside the rubber. My plate ump thought this was illegal and I didn't. I had always been told as long as part of the foot was within it was OK. Who was right? Also wondering if FED is different.

If the pitcher's plate is 24" wide and part of the foot is off the side, then the foot is not "within" the 24", is it?
