After watching USA's Monica Abbott being called for 3 illegal pitches last night during their game against Canada, I began watching other pitchers from the Olympics.
I noticed during the China / Australia game that the Chinese pitcher begins her wind up by putting her hands over her head and then going into the wind up, is this not illegal as well? Maybe ASA and ISF rules are different but I know in ASA that the pitcher can not have the ball move past the head more than once during the wind up?
When we first started our 10u team, this was a huge issue for one of our pitchers as she pitched pretty much exactly like the Chinese pitcher does.
