8.01(b) Both feet must be on the ground within or partially within the 24-inch length of the pitcher’s plate. INSTRUCTOR COMMENTS: Whether the pitcher chooses to have only the pivot foot or both feet in contact with the pitcher’s plate, the non-pivot foot may not extend beyond the limit of the pitcher’s plate (toward first base or toward third base). 8.01(g) A backward step may be taken before or simultaneous with the hands being brought together. The pivot foot must remain in contact with the pitching plate at all times prior to the forward step. There is nothing that says both feet must be in contact with the plate. Rita |

Now you have me doubting myself. My book is not here - and about 1% of the games I do are LL. Can you post the rules between b and g?

Like b and g, d relieves the pitcher from requiring both feet to be in contact. It states, "The pitcher shall take a position with his/her pivot foot in contact with the pitcher's plate. This contact must be on or partially on the top surface of the pitcher's plate. The non-pivot foot must be on or behind the pitcher's plate."
