Pitching Motiong

[Gulf Coast Blue]

The pitcher in ASA should NEVER step onto the pitchers plate with her hands already together.........

Also.........I may be misreading something with the original poster..........but...........s/he states.........

quote would often start on the rubber with hands together and set, bring the ball out slowly and pause with her pitching arm straight down by her side, then slowly return the ball to the glove to set before starting her motion.

Am I missing something??

I would think that in ASA (6-1-B) it is clearly an illegal pitch.............the way I break this play down.........she steps onto the rubber with her hands togethter.............seperates them.........brings them back together and then begins the pitch...........

Now.........in 9-10's we do a lot of instructing...........but at the State and beyond level........the kids are expected to know what they can do..........

JMHO
