H.S. Rules/ would like a college take on this too since she is going next year.
Pitcher starts with her heel on the front of the rubber.
She rocks backs picks up toe, heel still in contact with rubber.
She then strides and the heel comes up as she strides to the plate.
She use to keep her heel on top the rubber, her pitching coach changed it to only her back side of her heel touching it.
Now is this legal?
Had umpires call it both ways..
Thank you
