You guys with the still frames, lines and such are way overanalyzing the end of her motion. You need to look at it in its entirety.

Either this pitcher has small feet / small stride, or she is illegal.

If she is as old / tall as she appears, she is either starting with her pivot foot off the plate on the left (as you face her), or she is stepping outside the 24" width on the right with her stride foot.

Watch how far the pivot foot slides to the right, and how far beyond that the stride foot lands.

She's illegal.

Thanks Dakota. I appreciate your opinion. That is what I was looking for when I posted the video. Dave

I was just curious in general if, because of parallax, the step-off from the PP (if it was only a few inches) would be easier/harder to judge depending on FU position. I didn't see PU anywhere in the video. We teach our young BB players that when they take a lead off 1B that they also move a bit toward home plate...this (due to parallax) gives the pitcher an inaccurate impression of the distance the runner is from 1B.

Oops..I meant I didn't see BU anywhere in video...for some reason I thought he/she would be in B position and that we would see BU in video, but I guess not.
