Way the illegal pitch rule is worded. Anyone know what he meant? Is he saying it should address replanting instead of just a hop? After he gave the interview, the announcer said that may change with the rule changes next year. Any insight what they meant by that comment?

The replant is where the pitcher gains the advantage. -- RoJoHokie Apr 10, 2022 at 02:33 PM ET

I agree. When you replant you throw 70 from a couple of feet closer. I -- VT One Apr 10, 2022 at 02:45 PM ET

Agreed, but they have to fix it now to avoid hurting the team this year.** -- RoJoHokie Apr 10, 2022 at 02:52 PM ET

Rules are evaluated/considered every year. -- RoJoHokie Apr 10, 2022 at 02:40 PM ET

I think there is. Announcers have mentioned it frequently. ** -- HolidayInnHokie Apr 10, 2022 at 02:38 PM ET
