This must mean that every F1 should be viewed from the 1B side always?

I'd hate to tell the coach that his F1 is illegal every time because her arm isn't going clockwise when we're working 3-umpire mechanics and I'm the rabbit...

Just another case of overthinking a rule. Of course, they will say it was meant from the pitcher's viewpoint. But wouldn't that make a lefthander illegal?

Pitchers are attempting to gain an advantage by deceiving the batter.

No $hit!!! Isn't that their job? Wouldn't that be the purpose of a curve ball, riser, drop, change up, etc.?
