Wow.... He's almost as good as our dd's!.... well, mine anyways
Because of his extreme leap, and re-plant;
it's interesting to see the delay in circle he does when at 3:00,
so that his timing with regard to ball release and front foot plant is in synch...

..which is perfectly legal in the Men's game....
So I will admit to not knowing anything about the Men's game. I knew the leap was legal but is that massive replant really allowed. He's basically driving off twice. Power is added but also a huge increase in effective speed just by leaping twice and releasing so close to the batter, right?
Good grief - time to get the eyes checked - I read the title as "Folk-tard" and thought geesh - I know some.
Look how far out of the circle he lands...
Wouldn't that motion be legal for women if he kept his drag foot in contact with the ground? I thought I saw a couple of WCWS pitchers with a replant I just can't remember which ones.
