Hi all,

I need some comments with regards to pitching and signals.

In the POE for Pitching Regulation (dated 15 March 2011) it is stated in Part 2 Signals;

 The signal must be taken while standing on the pitcher’s plate.
 A signal may be taken.
 Looking at the catcher is the same as taking the signal.
 The hands must be separated while taking the signal. The ball may be held in either the bare hand or in the glove.
 The ball may be in front, to the side or behind the body.

And moving onto Part 3 Prelimary to Delivery and so forth.

My queries is - can the pitcher continue to received signals when he/she has brought both hands together during the 2~5 seconds (the pause)?

And what should the umpire rule when
1. the pitcher acknowledges the signal(s) during the pause
2. the pitcher does not acknowledge the signal during the pause

Thanks and regards,

Hans

I am looking to play on a team in the San Jose area. I've been playing for 20 years now and miss playing it since moving here. Anyone have any information. I know they play in Parque Sabana but I'm looking for information on how to get plugged into a team. Thanks.

Hey Josh, I play in La Sabana. There is currently slow, modified and fastpitch. The best way would be to show up there on the weekends, look at what your are dealing with, as fas as teams and their behavior, and talk to someone from that team about joining. Hope this helps.
