| May 15, 2018 Itallion Stallion 1 posts | Pitching rules- use of a windup I have a question regarding pitching rules section 6.7D. It says the pitcher must not use a windup in which there is a stop or reversal of the pitching motion. I do not know what constitutes a reversal of the pitching motion. I pitch and not sure if I turn sideways as part of the motion if this is any type of a reversal? |

To me, this implies I can deliver a partial windmill pitch if I begin with the ball being held in front of me in front of my hip, then swing my arm in a continuous clockwise motion (right-hand pitcher), passing my hip for the first time in my delivery and releasing the ball after a 300 degree continuous motion. There is no reversal of motion in that delivery, so am I correct in assuming this partial windmill pitch is legal? |
