Text | [reporting on the AA meeting of 3/12/1883] The rule requiring pitchers to keep the arm below the hip was modified, and the twirler will hereafter be permitted to throw from the shoulder, but not above it. In plain words, pitching has passed away, and throwing has become legal. The old foul balk was eradicated and a new style adopted. Now, if a pitcher gets his arm higher than his shoulder and the umpire calls a balk, the man at the bat and those on the bases are advanced a base. |
