We worked hard in practice yesterday on keeping contact with the rubber on the pivot. It worked out very well. She is only 10 years old, but has a bright future. The umpires we are dealing with are just looking to call anything on these kids. Thanks to everyone for your help.
there is no question she is starting on the rubber. the toe is off the rubber (2-3 inches). she lifts her heel off the rubber pivoting on her toe which creates a space of about 2-3 inches like I mentioned. at no time during does her foot leave the ground as she drags forward and an s-shape...
I have a pitching question. when my daughter pivots she is about 2 inches away from the rubber. her foot never leaves contact with the ground but she is technically pushing off about 2-3 inches in front of the rubber. is this legal?
Thanks for your time,
Glenn
