We were told that the answer to Question #60 on this year's test is "True." If so, I'm confused.
60. The pitcher attempts a quick return before the batter is ready. No pitch should be declared by the umpire? I don't know why they put a question mark after a statement, but they did. Section 7. Quick pitch. The pitcher shall not attempt a quick return of the ball before the batter has taken a position in the batter's box or when the batter is off balance as a result of a pitch. Effect—Sections 1-7: A. Any infraction of Sections 1-7 is an illegal pitch. B. The umpire shall give a delayed dead ball signal and verbally state "illegal pitch". Section 9 deals with "no pitch," which is a dead ball with all subsequent action on the pitch cancelled. Nowhere in Section 9 do I see anything about pitching before the batter is ready. Section 9 does deal with pitching before a runner has returned to his base after being legally off it.
