From 2012.
What's the problem? She's fine.

What that catcher does on this pitch makes me sad...and mad. Allowing this to happen is pure ignorance by the coaches.

That long of a toe would be counterproductive on the pushoff, but extending the heel like that would allow the pitcher to start far in front of the rubber - it would be like pitching from 40' again.
How about a longer toe on the stride foot so the pitcher can rock back on it like HS ball?
Has nothing to do with work ethic and it is rarely intentional from the onset. She has not fixed it because as now folks are making excuses for her and finding ways around the issue. It is a defect in her mechanics. Poor mechanics is poor mechanics. Illegal is illegal.
Be careful what you wish for when you suggest surrender on the issue. As the gap between the really good pitchers and the average will widen significantly.

You will save on transportation since the entire team will now fit in one car.
While we are at it can we do away with the 24" pitching lane? My pitchers would love to have the extra break and better angle for their East/West pitches.

I understand your point, but on the other side all the pitchers who have worked equally hard to be legal, they need to be taken into consideration also JMO.
