Text | For the benefit of umpires generally, we would state that any delivery of the ball is legal provided the arm which holds the ball when swung forward passes the body of the pitcher below the line of the hip. That is the rule in both professional and amateur codes, and therefore all the umpire has to do is to watch the pitcher's arm when it passes the body. If it passes above the line of the hip, he must call “foul balk;” if below that line, it is a legal delivery. |
