why stop at one hop then? just hop your way down to the plate and throw it from 45 feet
No, it should not be considered a legal pitch, and it is my understanding that MLB has relatively recently determined it is not a legal pitch.
Yes, Rule 3.4.B clearly states that a pitcher can have 1 and only 1 huge leap towards the plate when in the process of looking at the pitch clock with less than 1.4 seconds remaining and that his foot must…. OK I can’t do this, NO!!! You can’t do that!!
Nope it’s an illegal pitch. Period.
absolutely not... foot needs to stay on rubber.
Foot's supposed to stay in contact with the rubber per rule...but that never happens with any pitcher...props for the lunge exploit.
No. His back foot hit the ground first, thus, not throwing from the rubber.
It's the baseball equivalent of the @nba euro-step 😂😂
He should be allowed to run up to the plate and place the ball in his catcher's mitt.
ILLEGAL
