    There have been a couple of threads about various deliveries and if they're illegal or not. So my question to you guys who know: If my pitcher does a normal wind-up and comes between her legs to deliver, is it illegal? I mean the WFC guys didnt really seem sure, and she did it three times today, all for called third strikes. (She also did it two more times and it was put in play) but when the hitters first saw it, they were stunned. A couple of coaches from other teams were arguing it was illegal.

    legal

    a pitch from behind the back is legal so I guess that one between the legs is legal also.

    my understanding is as long as you start with both feet on the rubber.

    eyes on ???

    I always coached girls to concentrate with their eyes on the delivery point (the side of the pitcher's leg or knee) to get as early a look at the ball as possible. If these "crazy" pitches catch on, that thinking won't always be true.
