Howdy,

Recently witnessed a RH pitcher who at the end of his stride motion to home does a funky little hop that has him land about 6 inches off the rubber ball still in hand - and then he finishes the pitch. I can send a picture if needed.

Is this legal???

THANKS in advance for insight!!!!

He hops at the END of his stride motion? I can't imagine that.

Please post the picture.
