2020 New Softball Pitching Rule Changes
>> YOUR LINK HERE: ___ http://youtube.com/watch?v=H-bY8AYVkK4
HOT TOPIC: The pitching rules change and what it looks like/what you can and can't do. • Get familiar with Start Back vs. Step Back - one of the two will most likely be coming to a governing softball body/organization near you starting January 2020, and it can affect the start of your pitch!! • Finally, a rule change that gives pitchers an advantage! • This is a significant change in the sense that its movement in a rule change that affects how a pitcher can choose to start and, in my opinion, can be an advantage to the pitcher (yay). • However, as I say in this video, it is not major in terms of feeling like you have to reinvent the wheel with your mechanics. • Most likely, in the whole scheme of things, it's not THAT drastically different than what you are doing now. • I've really been doing research and to the best of my understanding here is what I know: Step Back - USA Softball, USSSA, High SchoolStart Back - PGF, College (* don't kill the messenger over why there are differences, I am just passing along) There are always things I forget to say when I am making these videos (hehe) • Things I forgot to say in my video explanation: • 1. It is not required that you start back or step back. They are both just options where your back foot (stride foot) can NOW start off the pitching rubber! Your old start position where both feet needed to be in contact with the pitching rubber would still be ok! • 2. When can the Step Back happen? - it can happen before, simultaneous with or after the hands are brought together. • 3. Your feet still need to stay within the 24-inch pitcher's plate. (This means your foot can't start way on the side of the pitching rubber). • 4. Once you bring your hands together when your feet are on the rubber, you cannot bring them apart and put them back together. The only time you can pull them apart is when you go into your pitch! • 5. The Start Back would be legal under Step Back rules. • 6. The Step Back would NOT be legal under Start Back rules. • Let me know what questions/concerns you have in the comments! • I will be making another couple of videos that deal with my thoughts on the rule change, what it effects most AND the why behind the changes! • Want to train with me? I have open enrollment for online pitching training only a few times year! https://www.pitching-angel.com/waitlist - go here for all of the details and to be the first to know when the next enrollment is opening up!
