No one from USSSA cares…funniest thing I heard all day.I know a guy that is in the hierarchy of USSSA. He would like to know what the name of this tournament was and where so that he can contact them to discuss this. If you dont want to post it publicly, please message it to me, he would like to address this as it is a completely illegal pitching motion in every ruleset.
And yes, IR is technically illegal.
within this website, humor can be found!…funniest thing I heard all day.
I don't see how. If you're getting brush, the forearm and wrist are literally touching the body at release.
Not trying to be pedantic, but "further from the body" is not the same as directly below. Also it doesn't say what part of the elbow this measurement "from the body" is taken from, the inside, the outside, etc. So saying IR is "illegal" is just trying to drum up a response like mine.Most rules say that the wrist shall not be further from the body than the elbow. Try it yourself, use brush and see if the wrist is directly below the elbow.
Where was this tournament?
Saw this over the weekend and was surprised to be told that the umps said it was fine. This was in USSSA and an 18u team. I really didn't care but was surprised it was said to be ok and looks like an injury waiting to happen to me.

The wrist is touching the body? Tyrannosourus whips?If it's literally touching the body it absolutely cannot "further from the body."
