Sound almost like a HTBT.

I think it is a HTBT.

"Reversal" is mentioned undoubtedly because a pitcher who moved his arm forward without releasing and in one apparent motion reversed his motion could claim that he didn't stop. A similar situation arose in OBR when the one-second stop required of pitchers in their stretch motion was changed to simply a "stop" to reduce balks. When I pitched, you could sort of get around that requirement by reversing direction, which entailed a (very brief) stop. Then they added "discernible" and prevented the quick reversal.

Of course, OBR said you had to stop, while softball said you couldn't stop.
