Now there's a paragraph that I can imagine would liven up some games

I do a lot of Mens USSSA games and last year I had one pitcher that I called "The Circus" He would pump -reset- pump- reset and release. He would windmill his arm and the ball would come out on one of his passes (not a fast pitch). Then he did the craziest thing I had seen. Pitched a ball stepped behind the rubber catcher returned the pitch. He looks at the ball (batter still in box) then does a sommersault rolling so his feet are on the rubber pauses and pitches.

The batter was frozen for that pitch.

Fun stuff. Some of it does get a bit crazy sometimes.
