Question
CAN A PITCHER STEP BACK OFF THE RUBBER BEFORE BEGINNING HER MOTION TO HOME PLATE?????????

Answer
Hello Charlie,

Once the hands are brought together, the pitcher shall not take more than one step, which must be forward toward the batter and simultaneous with the delivery. Any step backwards shall begin before the hands come together. The step backwards may end before or after the hands come together. Please let me know if we can help with anything else.
