I was wataching both my neighbors sons play in a high school game last night in Gwinnett County. Before game umpires and all coaches talked for atleast 10 or 15 minutes on mound. They were moving like they were throwing and doing pickoff moves. we were trying to figuer out if some rules had changed over from last year because it took so long. |

That is a judgment call... no rule change. |

That rule was clarified 2 years ago in High School |

SITUATION 1: While in the set position, F1 has his pitching hand hanging straight down in front of his body, stationary, as he gets the sign from the catcher. RULING: The use of the “gorilla” stance in the set position is legal provided the arm is not moving. The batter, runner(s) on base, and coaches are able to view the pitcher and the ball and are not placed at a disadvantage. (6-1-3)
SITUATION 2: While in the set position, F1 has his pitching hand hanging straight down in front of his body, swinging back and forth, as he gets the sign from the catcher. RULING: This is not legal and is an illegal pitch or a balk if there are runners on base. While this “gorilla” stance is legal if the pitching hand is stationary, it is illegal if the arm is swinging back and forth. (6-1-3)
SITUATION 3: While in the set position, F1 has his pitching arm resting on his thigh and his pitching hand is at rest in his lower abdominal area. RULING: This is illegal. Having his pitching hand at rest in this area gives the offense little to no visibility of the baseball and action by the pitcher. (6-1-3)

Not that I am aware of. The coach probably had a funky balk call on one of his kids in a previous game and wanted to get confirmation from the umps on what they would be calling in terms of balks. That's the only thing I can think of. |
