Was the pitcher in a wind up or in the set position with a runner on base? If he is in the windup, there is no need to come set. I'm sure if the umpire felt the pitcher was quick-pitching the batter illegally, he would have called it, especially if the other team was complaining.
Sorry. Used the term windup when I should have said moving into his pitching motion. There were runners on base a good portion of the game. As I said we spanked this team so it wasnt a big deal.
