We have a pitcher who has a routine. Once she receives the ball from the catcher, she does 3 to 5 quick glove snaps. taps her knee with the ball. She then steps on the rubber receives the sign and delivers the ball. All of this takes about 7 to 10 seconds.
Playing Pony last weekend blue called time, came to me and complained that she was wasting too much time. This was a direct result of the opposing coach complaining. When I asked if she was doing anything illegal, blue said no but it wasting time and disrupting batters in the box. My comments to blue where if she's doing something illegal I'll ask her to stop but until then, I'm not saying anything to her.
She went on to pitch a very good game (as she usually does). My question is do you think I should have her change her routine? From what I see it gets her focused and in the zone.
thanks
