8.01 Legal Pitching Delivery

Editor’s Note: Wording was changed and case Comments were changed as follows:

Only a portion of the pitcher’s pivot foot must be in contact with the rubber (no longer “entire pivot foot”). This applied to both Windup and Set positions. Under the new rule, pitchers may pitch “off the end” of the rubber, as long as any part of the pivot foot is in contact with the rubber.

In the Windup position, the pitcher’s free foot may be on the rubber, in front of the rubber, behind the rubber, or off to the side of the rubber

In the Windup position the pitcher is permitted to step to the side during his delivery (previously prohibited)

Also, the following dealing with a pitcher not stopping with nobody on base was added to 8.01(b):

Rule 8.01(b) Comment: With no runners on base, the pitcher is not required to come to a complete stop when using the Set Position. If, however, in the umpire’s judgment, a pitcher delivers the ball in a deliberate effort to catch the batter off guard, this delivery shall be deemed a quick pitch, for which the penalty is a ball. See Rule 8.05(e) Comment.



Tim.
