30 Foot Pitchers Foot Foul

posted  Oct 28, 2016, 9:53 AM  by Bryan Wilson    [ updated  Feb 8, 2017, 7:11 PM  ] Foul -  (Foot Foul)  This occurs when a pitcher steps on or over the foul line, or starts or steps completely outside of the  pitching platform area , before the shoe is released. The penalty is to declare the shoe a foul shoe. (See pages 13, Rule 5, Section B, 1 a.b) The  pitching platform area  also has side boundaries. Stepping toward the middle of the courts before releasing the shoe is a foul shoe pitched. It would be the same as a 40 foot pitcher stepping into the clay before releasing the shoe.
