Leaping

Over the weekend, while watching some of the regional college games, the point about leaping was brought up. One of the announcers mentioned that in ISF, leaping was now (or soon would be) considered legal. I cannot attest to how true or false that statement is.

And of course, there's much debate as to whether leaping provides an advantage to a pitcher.

If ISF does, or will, allow leaping, is this a precursor to other sanctions moving in the same direction?

I've always felt that if men are allowed to leap, women should also be allowed. As a low-level fast pitch pitcher, I never did master the leap. I always dragged my pivot foot and went through several toe plates and spikes.

Comments?
