This is obviously a poorly worded group of rules that seems to want to do the right thing but can't get out of it's own way. I wish (and it's just a wish) that the Fed had a "hotline" if you will to clarify things like this. I believe NCAA had "Ask Dee" a few years back. I've found, like some have said, that the state guy doesn't always know what their talking about. They're just giving personal opinions that aren't necessarily any more learned than mine.

At the end of the day, it is highly unlikely that a pitcher is going to deliver a pitch illegally (leap, crowhop, violation of the 24, etc.) after the batter steps out of the box. The two scenarios in the book--a legally delivered pitch or an aborted motion--are the expected outcomes. So it probably doesn't make much difference that the book doesn't cover it. |
