Maybe not your guy, but Vic pitchers were getting called.
Maybe it's a Victorian thing? It's encouraged very strongly here in WA and the 17s in Tasmania a couple of years back had most of th girls planting.
Victoria for some very strange reason has dropped off massively at that national level. (I grew u with NSW and Vic winning everything) and I'm hearing some good and not so good things about Victoria. If the state coaches are discouraging leaping then that's probably one of the reasons.
Sorry for taking a while to reply, different time zones with me been in Australia, over here in Australia the ISF laws have been adopted and still my girls are the only pitchers we see in female softball here utilising it. Its very taboo and its actually quite heated when raised. I guess everyone for so long were so vigilant on stamping it out when juniors started to show any sign that they were hopping that its hard to change those views.
