Pitching Rule Question

[El Oso]

That's a rule for at least one code.

Which one? Wish all of them would adopt it. Really moved things along.

I always imagine the batter stepping into the box for the first time in the at bat). Unless there's a good reason (a swing, a 30 mph gust of wind that blows dirt in your eyes, etc.), you really shouldn't need to step out, walk around, adjust everything (at least girls don't wear cups!), etc.

And I'm sorry for not being more clear. My issue is not with the first pitch.

Why did NCAA change the rules to not allow pitchers to take pitch calls behind the rubber? Quick pitching? Now they take the call behind the rubber, get on the rubber, and then look at wrist band. . I’m not sure why I don’t like it but I don’t lol

Under the current rules, both feet do *NOT* have to be on the rubber to start the pitch.

If the pitcher wasn't required to pause once they put a foot on the rubber, then they would do walk-throughs.
