Either FED or ASA rules.
Pitcher pushes off and lands with front foot. Back foot drags, then comes off the ground after front foot lands, but before the ball is released.
What's the call under both rule sets?
I think it's legal in FED because of rule 6.1.2.C. "The pivot foot may remain in contact with or may push off and drag away from the pitching plate prior to the front foot touching the ground"
I can't seem find anything in ASA that says it's illegal. We have two local pitchers getting nailed left and right on this call in HS ball.
