Is this a Replant?

i would say just from that shot, which by the way it is next to impossible to tell just from 1 pic, No. She is on the tips of her toes, knee is bent allot and the center of her weight is considerably inside her back foot.

The surest sign that spring is here isn't the sighting of the first red-breasted robin...it's the sighting of the first crow hop thread on OFC!

I was thinking the same thing. "High School Coach is messing up my kid" is a sign of late winter. Then the crow hop mini-series. Followed by "when is it okay to leave your current team?"

It is my guess the pitcher was mowing down a High School team and every parent in the stands is a pitching coach. Let the games begin.

The thing I see toe is in a hole in front of the rubber.
I would say she is still dragging it.

Is this a replant? In Ohio?? Of course not!
But you can win a prize for picking the "appropriate" answer:
A) A pitcher who STILL chooses to pitch from 40'
B) A new combination ballet-softball move
C) She found a way to keep from wearing out the toe of her cleat
For bonus points, try doing this move yourself and actually DRAGGING the foot she's STANDING on! The trick is to actually keep it moving until the front stride foot lands! You know, the way the rule states it's supposed to.
For double bonus points, find her pitching coach and ask why this pitcher was taught this?

Is the 3rd base coach a man or a women?....

I don't care what anyone says. I have never seen a pitcher legally drag their foot when it's in this position. If the toe isn't in the dirt and you can't see the bottom of her cleats from the view directly behind the circle then it's gonna be a replant. Having a view of the cleats from 1st base is going to be a replant or a serious groin injury if an attempt to drag in that position is even possible!

Agree. Why is the foot turned with the laces facing third base? Because if she landed on the ball of her foot like this with the laces facing home plate she would lose her balance and fall forward towards the batter. This is a good example of the classic "side-jumper". Weight on the back leg with toe cleats firmly planted for another push-off. She's certainly not up on the point of her toe and dragging forward! Who teaches this stuff anyway??

The bigger question is why is it rarely if ever called? I know we've hashed this and re-hashed this over and over. The funny thing is I have seen this type of re-plant called before, however only when the opposing coach makes it an issue; and the ump will call it over the next couple of pitches and then let her continue to pitch the rest of the game the same illegal way without issue. It's almost like the ump is saying, "ok there coach I called it now sit down and shut up!" There's a dominant pitcher in our conference that I haven't seen throw a legal pitch in 3 yrs and it's never called. She actually re-plants twice. One good thing is the NCAA has cracked down bigtime and these hop-skip-and-jumpers will never cut it.

That would be a big fat NO. He teaches laces toward the catcher. Nice try on your part, though...

After reading all the threads,I do agree no body calls a illegal pitch much. When a girl drives off the rubber the foot is to remain in contact with the ground.If not, its leaping even if the toe is aiming down hits and drags, If you notice these girls are a little slower than a girl who drives off and the foot stays down.The hardest throwers have a little hesitation with the back foot until the front foot lands, than the back foot and hip drive sideways letting the hand through before they finish. This is sometimes called a replant, but if the foot is on its side of toe it is not called. There is a very fine line in the position of the foot, getting leverage with the lower half of the body gets the girls to throw hard. Staying legal is a fine line in my opinion if you want to be a hard thrower. I give credit to all the pitchers for all the hard work and practice they put in,coaches need to remember they are kids, college is a differnt story.

That's interesting since you don't know me or what experience I do or do not have. Maybe you should stick with what you do know. Should be a pretty simple, short process. ;&
