Discussion: Dragging pivot foot
Rule 6.6E talks about a legal delivery if the pivot foot remains in the pitchers box during release of the pitch. Can this pivot foot drag while in the pitchers box. Is the pivot foot no longer a pivot foot if it is dragged?
Please consider that all other elements of the pitch appear to be legal. Thank you.
Randall.. as long as the pitcher has come to a complete stop before the start of the pitch I have no problem with the pivot foot dragging and also lifting a little upon the release of the pitch.. what I wouldn't allow is the pitcher walking into the pitch or lunging toward the batter at release of the pitch..
