Too lazy to look it up , But it was my thoughts that BOTH feet must maintain contact with the pitchers plate when the P is starting her windmill --( I'm talking college here ) . The rocker foot for most pitchers starts toe or entire foot in contact with the plate and as she moves that foot isnt allowed to lose contact with the plate -- Correct ? Meaning she cant step back and then move forward . This weekend a girl was definetly moving that foot 2-4 on some pitches and I'm coaching first base and ask blue " Blue i'm seeing a few inches of daylight between her foot and the rubber , isnt that illegal " ? and he said " no it doesnt have to stay in contact with the plate as long as she isnt pushing off or gaining an advantage or some thing like that . Is he right ?
