The windup position is described by the Major League Baseball rules as follows:
"The pitcher shall stand facing the batter, his entire pivot foot on, or in front of and touching and not off the end of the pitcher's plate, and the other foot free. From this position any natural movement associated with his delivery of the ball to the batter commits him to the pitch without interruption or alteration. He shall not raise either foot from the ground, except that in his actual delivery of the ball to the batter, he may take one step backward, and one step forward with his free foot."
What do you think of the pitcher who set the record at 105 mph fast ball,fastest ever recorded on radar?

Cole Hammels (philly pitcher) pitched a bad game on Saturday. Later he said he pitched the game with a "dead arm", what does this mean?

You're reading When a pitcher is in the windup position, is he required need to have both feet touching the pitching rubber, or just his pivot foot on the rubber and his 'free' foot can be off?
