Barnhill was doing it to give the batters a chance. She'd be 75mph+ without the replant. lulzHuh. I’ll have to let our pitcher know she can be throwing 70 mph without the leap.

and yet another one who doesn't separate leaping from crow hopping. Hilarious......Barnhill was doing it to give the batters a chance. She'd be 75mph+ without the replant. lulz
Thank goodness some common sense arrives.As an umpire, I had this a couple times calling 10U games. I didn't call it, the coaches didnt say anything. After the game I told the coach about it, he says he's working on it. That needs to be straightened out in practice. I'm not going to show up at a 10u game and call the first hop and make that pitcher become a walk machine, that's not good for anyone, that would make a miserable game for everyone playing and watching. I'd probably let it go in 12u too, with more warnings for the coach that this isn't gonna fly the older they get. If one of the coaches brings it up to me, I'll call it. 14 U and up, I've called it, that's my limit.
Alright @texasheat! Way to bring it.
So why do you think the majority of men pitchers who are allowed to leap do? - where did you get those numbers and what % of them do versus don't?
_______________
I will say without doubt
Having faced pitchers who trained to crow hop and leap deffinetly developed and had advantage from it. - again, using anecdotal evidence and again you are commingling the terms. Leaping is not crow hopping. There is an advantage gained from crow hopping.
Experienced when could and when they couldnt.
While some still do (slightly)
It is NOT AS GNARLY as when the female pitcher's trained to do it on purpose.
*Thats right woman were allowed to hop/leap!
And that rule changed!
Because its was one of the reasons pitchers were so dominant! - according to who?
Changed because hardly any base hits or runs. Longgg extra inning games. -and that had nothing to do with dead cork center balls and old technology non-composite bats at all did it.
Standing in the batters box is the best way to truely understand what it does to timing the pitcher and seeing the actual release point.
When they moved pitching back 3 feet it helped batters and can be seen in those stats.
Imagine the pitcher gaining back 3 feet.
