Text | [from the NL umpire instructions] Rule 5, section 2 contains the first radical change from the old code, and to my mind is too plain to require any special explanation or interpretation. The pitcher must face the batsman, both shoulders square with the plate, with rear foot on the rear line of the box. It should not make any difference if heel projects a little outside of box. The prohibition in the section against raising the rear foot is not intended to bar the pitcher from doing so when throwing to a base, and refers to the delivery and the preparatory motions for delivery of the ball to the bat. |
