| Feb. 28, 2005 kookieman 43 posts | Pitching I've been playing sswc for three year's and the the rule's say 6ft. to 12ft. The blue's have what they see as 5ft. to 10ft. I also play open and senior leagues and I get 6 to 12ft. some time a little more. We are following ASA rules. It also give the pitcher time to play the middle. Just my 2 cents. |

I went to a gym and got on the side of the basket and stoof 25 feet from the rim. I tried to pitch softballs over the rim and I was surprised to see how high 10 feet was much less 12 feet. In open ball there are very few pitchers who use the high pitch. It's used by mainly the old school players in senior ball. |

If he umpires in ISA which is big in Fla. that might be why you see the flat strike zone and the 12 ft he is a ASA umpire in some of his games. |
