A couple of buddies were playing in a Championship fastpitch game today.....
The opposing pitcher would wind up then deliver - but as he left the rubber he'd thrust forward in the air land on his back foot and stepping to deliver the pitch ending up a good 3-5 feet in front of the pitching rubber.....Is this a legal pitch?
When warming up he would use a standard delivery right off the rubber then change when he had to pitch to a batter.
This was a college FP game - but - in Thailand.....
Every tourney & slow pitch games are ASA here - but I am unsure which association affiliation or governing body covered this game.....
Since I was just a spectator I raised the question among friends as I had to right to get involved.....
Ideas - opinions? .....Thanks.....
I play in their scrimmage games to help get them oiled up but had never seen this pitcher - or delivery before.....
