Pitcher with two motions

[derwil]

Heya fellas,

Had this in a HS (NFHS) game, thought I would ask. Had a good pitcher that would vary her pitching build up - on certain pitches, she would not windmill and come directly to the plate. Others, she would windmill as normal. Was difficult to get my timing down, which I suppose is the point as the batter should have similar issues.

Anyone else ever had this? I haven't seen it from any other pitcher, can't find a mention of it in the rule book as both motions are acceptable.

Any suggestions on how to time getting into position? I started going early so that I wouldn't get caught on the "fast" pitches, but felt my timing was off the whole game.

Thanks,

Derek
