I have a pitcher that doesn't move his leading foot in to come to the set position. He just brings his hands together then goes to the plate. His feet are already shoulder width.
I am pretty sure I am right on this one, in fact, I went home and the very first book I grabbed recommended this way to pitch from the stretch, "Coaching Pitchers: by McFarland. Anyway, the umpire calls a balk on the kid. I ask why, and he goes on about the front foot not coming to a set position. Thats **** right. Anyway, I lost, but, I am right! right?
