Babe Ruth Softball pitching rule

[DaveASA/FED]

Had a visiting team from neighboring city Saturday, friendly rec league game. Pitcher was not touching her hands together at all prior to delivery. I told coach and pitcher about it, his response is "we play Babe Ruth rules and they don't have to touch". I dont' know babe ruth rules, hopefully one of you out there do.....is this true??

Also is there any other sets of rules out there where the pitcher does not have to bring their hands together prior to starting the pitch???


Thanks in advance
