If a pitcher keeps their toe up, can they step back to set up where they want to be with the back foot and then put the toe down to be set?
Could an Ump even see if the toe is up?
My DD is very used to stepping on the pitcher plate and then adjusting her back foot under USSSA, so trying to to figure the best way for her to make the adjustment. She’s not stepping back and pitching, just setting up. Can you move the back foot side to side? How tight does this get called?
“The stride (non-pivot) foot may be on or behind the plate as far back as desired. Once the pitcher initially sets the toe of her stride foot, she may not step, drag or slide it back any farther.”
