How Much Is Too Much

[Del-Blue]

Be careful on this one, remember you can "slide" your pivot foot. I have had pitchers do the same thing, some illegal, some ok. I guess it depends on how high she raises her foot. I know, I know,If she breaks contact with the pitchers plate it is an illegal pitch. I Will tell her about it between innings as I brush off the pitchers plate, If I decide I need to call it, I first try to call an illegal pitch when it really doesn't hurt the team ,like when no one is on base as opposed to when a runner is on third.
""""" Flame away""""" . Now if she places her foot in front of the pitchers plate, I will call that anytime. I have a hard time calling illegal pitches that don't cause the pitcher to get an advantage.

I am a pitchers umpire
