3. Legal
4. Illegal- definitely a replant
5. Legal- looks good since she has already delivered the ball
6. Legal
7. Illegal- looks like she has seperated from the rubber and replanted
8. Illegal-Leaping
9. Legal (Hopefully this was warm-up with the facemask lying on the ground) can't tell if she still has contact with the rubber.

 

the illegal pitchers were the ones that won the game. lol.

year after year we have this same BS of a kid pitching "illegally".
Watch Abbott,................oh nevermind.

 

Yep, as a coach, we will bring it up once to the ump. If if doesn't do anything, then it will be useless to bring it up again. It will just tick him off.

It is fun though watching them.

 

Depends on if their called on it or not doesn't it?

 

......thats the way I see it too. Hey parkdaddy, hope the girls are doing well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pitching

Rule book states you may push and DRAG away from rubber provided that the foot ( drag foot ) stays in contact with the ground until the ball is gone. Go back and look at the pics you will notice all but one pitcher's toe is not in contact. Some may drag tip of toe where the pitching toe is on the shoe which is correct and some may drag the whole side of the foot which is legal but too much weight on ankle could cause injury to the ankle. Replanting is when you push from the rubber then stop dragging and replant on dirt and push again ( Crow Hopping ) I see none of that in the pic's. illegal leap is when the DRAG leg ( Not Stride leg) Push from rubber and the foot goes into the air before hitting the dirt. Just in closing I feel it was very rude for whoever posted these pictures on here. You should have use your own kid if you was going to use an example. It's better to see a pitcher in person than trying to judge by a picture that may have not been taken at the right timing.

# 1 Picture You are wrong there is not replanting!! ( Legal ) She pushed from rubber and stayed in contact with dirt.( See her toe )
# 2 picture Legal
# 3 picture Foot on ground yes but angle of feet maybe a little too much. However would have like to see rubber in pic to really say. ( See no replanting) Legal
# 4 picture Foot is dragging maybe just a little too much weight on the ankle. ( See no replanting ) Legal
#5 picture Legal
# 6 picture Legal and what is the difference in Pic 1 and 6? NONE other than one is left handed and one is right handed.
# 7 picture Legal foot dragging all the way. No replanting.
#9 picture Legal dragging all the way ( No replanting ) maybe little too much weight on ankle

 

Legal or illegal

 

BINGO

Sharon is right.....

ALL LEGAL

How about these three.....
You have to be careful with the last one, you can hurt your knee!!

 

legal or illegal.....

All look legal to me. There does appear to be daylight between the back foot and the ground in pic #8. But so close no ump would ever see it. Could be the angle of the shot. Don't know any of these girls but they all look like they know what their doing.

 

Well have to agree with F-Pitch here also #1 is my DD and she has been called all of 1 time in 9 years and who knows how many umps for a illegal pitch and it was not even for the infraction which you are speaking of. Also all of these Ladies are taught by the BEST pitching coaches in there respected area that means alot of wasted money if you are correct. Just my
