While we're at it, has the pitcher met the bringing the hands together part of the rule in the following scenario: Right handed pitcher takes her position with hands separated with the ball in her right hand. Takes her signal then brings her right hand, with the ball in it, and touches the ball to the outside tip of the glove out in front of her for at least 1 second and then begins her delivery???? Had a coach question this last night, and I told him that the rules state the hands must come "TOGETHER", not that the throwing hand must go inside the glove. Obviously if the pitcher had the ball in her glove hand, then she would have to put her throwing hand inside the glove. Am I understanding this correctly???
