Pitching; ASA style

It is easier to pitch with the backward step allowed for a less practiced pitcher. NFHS is as much about participation as competition (officially). The theory is that by allowing the backward step, more players are able to be pitchers.

I agree, but that being said, the top pitchers can be more effective with the back step. It is not just a "novice" motion.
