If U1 means the base umpire, then I would say it is not your call. You have the feet-- leap, etc. not the hands and wind up.

So, if the pitcher continues a wind-up motion after releasing the pitch and the BU sees it while the PU is watching the pitch to the plate, s/he shouldn't call it?

That may be general guidance, but not an absolute.

Not completely correct. That's your primary, but BU should continue to watch. About the only thing I can't see a BU calling is a 24" violation.

Except in NCAA, where they put those very helpful white lines down on the field from the pitcher's plate......just remember though, that any NCAA coach will tell you that it is only the OTHER pitcher that is illegal!!!
