| Dec. 6, 2018 jfsully 82 posts | Pitching screen rules Just a few clarification questions on pitching screen rules (esp tournament rules). I would appreciaeet answers regarding SSUSA, ISA and FL Half Century 1) Is it legal for a pitcher to throw the pitch over the screen? Pitch would be under 12 ft and hit the mat. 2) Should the screen cover at least 1/2 the rubber to the glove side? (If not it seems a savvy pitcher could use the screen as a very large fielder) 3) Can the screen be knocked over once the ball is hit to keep it from interfering with a throw home? 4) Am I incorrect in thinking I have seen that senior association rules vary in how far back from the physical pitching rubber a pitcher can stand. I believe I have seen some at 6ft and others as far as 10 ft back. |

Some local leagues sanctioned by SSUSA do allow them, but that's solely a "local league rule modification" and, as such, will probably have a broad range of guidelines in play ... Good luck! ... |
