My question stemming from what I saw on the Softball World Series game last night and from other team my 12 year daughter played against. Question: When a right handed batter steps in the box with their left hand asking for time is gestured at the pitcher, and not the PU, can't the pitcher go ahead and pitch the ball anyway since they are not the ones to ask for time. Aren't you supposed to put your free hand towards the PU? Also, if I am correct please tell where in the rulebook it is located so I have it on hand when my daughter pitches on someone next year and a umpire trys to challenge me.
