SITUATION #5: While in the set position, F1 has his pitching hand down in front of his body, swinging slowly as he gets the sign from the catcher. RULING: The use of this “gorilla” stance in the set position is illegal. A pitcher, for the set position, shall have his pitching hand down at his side or behind his back.

Master of the pickoff
Do any of you out there believe that a pitcher in the "gorilla arm" set is going to not only throw over to first but pick the guy off????????
Pick that booger all you want................

No, but I did have one team complain about it once. So then I enforced it. I was pissed. The other coach wasn't too happy either. Fortunately, I don't see it at the FED level much anymore.

My problem with the FED rule or any coach complaining about it is: How do you not know he is not set? The runners can clearly see the hand is not in the glove. There is no illegal deception going on. If the pitcher has his hand really close to the glove and it is perfectly still, then maaaaaaaaaaaaaybeeeeeee. But, other than that, who is being illegally deceived?
This is one of those rules which needs to go away and umpires quit calling unless someone actually complains about it. But, if the rule goes away, then the coaches can't complain about it anymore.
