Does The Pitcher Have to Show The Ball????

Thanks, I'm with you on this ....... lower rec, beginning pitchers ...... help them out by pointing out what's not right .... time goes by, begin to enforce rule but still keep the spirit of the game.....if opposing coaches are not complaining why traumatize when no one cares.

I had one of those "anal" coaches who "teaches" pitchers at the 14 and under groups and wanted it called everytime during a tourney....this and the "crow hop" too when it "might" have ocurred every 5th pitch or so. I guess, my bottom line was, no advantage, no foul and I'm not going to make a travesty of the game because you're absolutely literal in your approach to how the pitcher should pitch.
