I can't stop myself!!!! (sorry) It's not about the foot drag. It's about getting a second push. My DD used to drag her foot with the laces facing third base. Started developing real foot problems. Fixed the drag and fixed the foot problems. But that has nothing to do with a legal/illegal pitch. However, it's almost impossible to get a second push if the laces are facing home. Additionally, if the laces are facing third when the foot replants, that means the hips are still open, and that allows the pitcher to get a second (illegal) push. With some of these pictures, the pitcher should be closing their hips by the time thay are that far off the mound. Like I said many posts ago, it's not about the feet. It's about the arm in relation to the feet.
