I have a couple of questions about rulings. Does the pitcher have to be in contact with the pitching rubber while getting or simulating recieving a signal from the catcher for it to be a legal pitch?
The other question I have is if a fielder other then the first baseman or catcher is using a catchers mit and makes a play is this called an illegal glove?

No. However, when she steps up on the plate she must receive or simulate receiving a signal from anyone. Basically, she must pause before starting her pitch.

"The other question I have is if a fielder other then the first baseman or catcher is using a catchers mit and makes a play is this called an illegal glove?"

Maybe. Any fielder can use a glove or mit, however there are size restrictions on all fielder's gloves other than the catcher. Length - 14", width (across the fingers) - 8", and webbing width - 5 3/4".

Providing you are not "speaking ASA" and some of the other
associactions. Above is true for NFHS.

Hey, Glen... what is the title of this thread? One more eye and you'd be a Cyclops! (JK, obviously)

Guess I was to excited about going fishing. A buddy and
I fished a tournament today. We had five bass weighing
25 1/4lbs. Finished second. I had our biggest fish at
6 1/2lbs. Second place for largest bass of the T. I
had not been fishing in three years until today. We have
some great lakes in this area.. No, not those Great Lakes,
but good fishing lakes. B.A.S.S. holds one of their largest
on Lake Rayburn, the one we fished today.
