Learn to be a better hitter and get over it!

Over and over I will say this
there are far more opinionated discrepancies simply from the umpire calling balls and strikes that happen incredibly more often than any of these pitching mechanic glitches.

You're not wrong

Sure, that holds many things in a game not called... out of the box, leaving early, leaping, obstruction so on and so on. Did she have 14K's because of "leaping" or did the hitters just not adjust to her power and movement.

Would she have had the same power and movement without leaping?

We could go back and forth all day with these un-answerable questions. lol....

Hmmm? what happens to the rule exclusive people on situations like a hit called foul when it was really fair. Or Runner who is safe who was thrown out by two steps before they reach the base.

Must be tough on them!

to me she would. And I say that because of how powerful she is in the places that matter for pitchers. Is she leaping like younger ones because she is weak off the mound or is she getting separation because she's max effort. I belive she dones't get the call because of the power and keeping her toe down.

That is a horrible comparison. Those are judgement calls and sometimes umpires get them wrong. But the rules are followed the majority of the time.

If we use your example illegal pitches would be called more often on some of these pitchers. Umpires will miss some, that is a part of the game. But if they wanted to call it more often they could.
