left foot

You're kidding, right? I know the pitcher's number, handedness, whether he sets up on the 1B side or 3B side of the ruber, what his 3 moves to 1B are, and how he comes set. I can't imagine an umpire who works above 13U not noticing what you're talking about.

Which is, as Carter points out, completely irrelevant to the OP, where F1 is merely straddling the rubber.

First of all....go back to the original post. The question was.....can a right-handed pitcher set-up with his left-foot on the rubber to gain an advantage for a pick-off move to second base. That is exactly what I am writing about. Most of you didn't totally understand the question because you don't think you have ever saw it done. This exact situation was addressed this year in the 2009 NFHS case study book.

I kid you not.....my last post was total truth......former college pitcher taught me what his coach had taught his pitchers for years. This pitcher showed me how easy it was to do in a practice game his son was pitching......I was looking for it and I missed it the first time!!

Honestly....if you are not looking for it....you might miss it.
