Sorry to regurgitate this thread.... BUT I'm at the Rebel Games in Kissimmee, and a DI college pitcher from a "far west" team was called for at least 2 illegal pitches yesterday evening. It was the EXACT motion discussed in this thread. The leap that produces two holes (because of not dragging during the stride), and a little "swipe" of the trailing foot at the end (at release). The 1st base umpire was demonstrating.
AT LAST! Refreshing that someone actually called it!! I would have shot video, but it's already been shown many times in this thread. The only question... are Ohio pitching coaches migrating west??
Sammy, it just slays me how anyone could not (A) see that kid in the discussion leaving the ground, it is obvious to me and others and (B) not see an obvious replant, meaning pushing off a second time.
I guess some misinformed people think a pitcher could run all the way to the plate as long as their hands have separated...lol
