The crow-hop

A crow hop occurs when the pivot foot leaves the pitching plate and replants prior to the release of the ball. ASA goes on to say that the pitcher must push off from the replant point in order for the motion to be called a crow hop. Regardless of which definition you use, the motion you described certainly sounds like a crow hop to me.

My daughters game bout week and 1/2 ago, F1 is definately doing this "crow" thing(where the did they get this name??), coach asks blue to watch it, ump jumps down his throat that "she's not gaining advantage", I dunno bout that, 40 feet minus 6-10 inches sounds like an advantage to me.....comments???
