Pitching/Hitting Rule? We faced a pitcher the other day that took about a minute between each pitch standing halfway between the mound and 2nd base. She would make our batters step in the box and wait for her to step to the mound.. take the signal.. and pitch. The ump gave her a warning, then their coach argued that our batters weren't getting in the box quick enough. I am confused about the 10 second rule for hitters. Why would it be okay for a pitcher to make a batter get set.. then continue to wait for her to proceed to the mound.. take the signal.. etc. It was frustrating as the pitcher sometimes went all the way to 2nd base before proceeding to mound... and the game took forever.
Does anyone know who is in the right here?
