I can't picture what you mean by this.

A couple years ago, myself and a few others on another board had tossed around the idea of just moving the PP back to whatever, say 46', maybe 50'. Eliminate the rules concerning leaping, crow hopping, 24" pitching lane, contact with both feet, etc.

Basically, it was that the pitcher could do whatever they pleased as long as they started from a stop in contact with the PP, delivered the ball in the same underhand manner and stayed inside the same circle.
