Pitcher "fakes" a pitch (doesn't release ball)...

Teach your pitcher to throw a slingshot pitch (vary your delivery).

one of the reasons I left a TB program was because the person who ran it purposely taught the players to leave early, telling them that if they timed it right, they could leave early and not get caught. teaching players to cheat was BS to me.

Because not throwing a pitch is intentional deception.

OMG... I've only heard that term used once in a game. The opposing pitcher threw a change where she would throw the ball at the beginning of the circle and she would not continue her motion beyond should height. It was a beautiful pitch that froze my hitter for what should have been strike 3. The pitch was legal. The umpire calls Illegal Pitch -- Deception. Unfortunately for the other coach she did not know how to discuss the pitching rules with the umpire. I wasn't saying anything. We were the beneficiaries of the bad call.

After the game I told the coach the umpire was totally wrong with his call and why. I told her she should go find the UIC and explain what happened to the umpire can would not make the same mistake again.

So by your logic you would pull your DD off of team who had a pitcher who was leaping or replanting and the coach was fine with it. That would be "cheating" by the rules.

His logic is that her team was being taught to cheat.
