NHFS 2nd Visit in an Inning
Does the pitcher need to come out of the game if the coach visits the mound for the second time in one inning, to talk to the same pitcher? Thank you!

Gentlemen,
Thank you for the feedback and suggestions. I adjusted and taped all of the straps. It feels much more secure and doesn't move. I'll get the chance to try it out tonight.
