USSSA allows leaping

[BrianTx01]

I am not a big fan since NCAA has no plans to change their rule but USSSA has allowed leaping.

The real question is if they will squash the replant. A lot of leapers replant and you can see dirt or turf beads kick up when they push off with the dive foot again



Heard some chatter elsewhere that the U trips rule says the arm motion must be continuous and that it is impossible to do if you leap.

Good. It's about time.

let pitchers pitch the best they can!
Unfortunetly
Inconsistency is not good.

Whoever is making the decisions and splitting hairs is problematic.

Myself have not followed this usssa or ncaa topic
Not sure why usssa wants it and ncaa doesn't.
Do know that there have been many changes over years in rules, field dimensions and equipment that the game has changed so much this inconsistency only complicates things. Even if this were to be allowed across the board is probably the smallest relevancy to impacting the sport comparing to those other decisions.

Complicating pitching mechanics is not better.

I think USA and USSSA are thing to align with international rules. The NCAA is not likely to follow suit. USA and USSSA have allowed step back for a little while and NCAA has only allowed start back. In general I don't think the NCAA is interested in shutting down offense.

I think it's a fairly open secret that the NCAA has already decided to make the change.

Now we change back to white ball and aluminum bats!

Wood bats would be great. Lets see who can actually hit.

I’m kind of with Rad. Let it rip. Get the goofy umpires out of the mix and pitchers can pitch.

Either way this is kind of fun to watch. Thanks @soonerfan1966
