Question, Is there a requirement on how close the hand/elbow must be in relation to the hip upon release of a pitch ?
Happened to see a pitcher who releases about 12-18 inches off to the side almost like a side arm type release. Ump did call illegal pitch once the entire game but admittingly asked other umps opinion after the game and most concensus was illegal.
Is there truly a required max distance from hand to hip upon releaase ?
