Illegal.

When she releases the pitch, the hips are pointed to the dugout, not close to a line between 1st and 3rd.

A) Who cares where her hips line up at the moment of release B) how in the world could a pitcher pitch and have her hips line up with 1st and 3rd at the moment of release... sounds painful. Unless this is slowpitch.

Why is this Illegal???
Just because the arm goes to the right does not make it Illegal!
Now if the arm drops to the right and is a side arm pitch then yes Illegal.
This is a HTBT scenario to make any kind of call.

I stand corrected ... read it too quickly and envisioned this wrong.
