Sorry Dakota I am the one who brought it up on eteamz. I was told at a State ump clinic that as soon as she took off the glove to put it between her legs call time. This would eliminate the problem. But I agree with your point of this almost takes away something from the offense as the defense should be smart enough to call time before any adjustments are made.
What does anyone else think? Also based on this casebook play what would everyone say to a pitcher that puts the ball next to her body and holds it there with her wrist or elbow? Does she retain control? brief situation is she has a broken finger on left hand, she would catch the ball then place and retain it next to body with left wrist or elbow then grab with right hand step onto rubber etc.
Never had is happen in the game but wondered what to call if a girl took off when pitch had ball trapped next to side.
