There are good defensive players that don't get a lot of opportunity and the good hitters are rendered ineffective by a pitcher that gets to pitch every inning.
What are your thoughts about:
1. moving the pitcher's plate back another 3'
2. Putting a limit on number of innings a girl can pitch

I was also wondering what UCLA would have done if Jelly got hurt. Dodd, their other pitcher played first base. I thought that was risky.
Move the PP back 6' and let them do anything they please as long as they begin their pitch from a stop with one foot having some contact with the PP.

I don't see what the problem is with Dodd playing 1B as playing another position used to be the standard for NCAA pitchers. So, Jelly gets hurt and Dodd comes into pitch and someone else plays 1B. I don't see the problem.
