I have been beat down by so many umpires on that I just assumed it was the rule. Thanks!
You are right, I should of been more specific. I was meaning hand signals from the catcher while she is in the receiving position.
We are switching to wristbands this year with our older group. If a pitcher is wearing a wristband and receiving the signals from the catcher, can she check her wristband while on the rubber after receiving those signals from the catcher or does she have to do that before she steps on the rubber? Any help is appreciated.
Still not true. Lenski and Comp covered the rules on this issue.
not worth arguing about
Is the catcher calling the game or is the coach giving signals to catcher who then translates to pitcher? We did the latter last year, coach takes forever to call in pitch, catcher finds it on her wristband and translates to pitcher. There was no rhythm. This year the coach is going to call it directly to the pitcher. I'm sure the pitchers, DD included, will be waiting for the signal off the rubber bc coach can sometimes take a little too long and then the other coaches and umpires can get pissy. Lol. So does the pitchers mom though. Hopefully this will help build a little more rhythm making it easier for the girls to stay hot.We are switching to wristbands this year with our older group.
