All you naysayers can talk ish all you want, but if you stop for a minute, break down her form, technique and realize how hard and accurate she throws a softball... You can see just how talented & amazing she is!
But it's an illegal pitch. But, they probably all do it. When someone throws hard and shaves 6 feet off the rubber to the home plate distance, they'll be hard to hit.
In Men's fastball, the pitcher has to start with both feet on the block but he can jump as far forward as possible. Doesn't leave much time for the batter to react. Ball movement rises from down low.
I’ve never understood how/why some softball pitchers talk mad shit when by the time they’re done with their “illegal” crow up they have stepped 12 feet towards home plate before the ball even leaves their hands. I think the dimensions should change the higher they progress. I mean hell I went from 60ft to 90 ft from just 6th grade going into middle school. Yet there are grown women throwing from the same distance as a child lol
@@VaderzBane Women obviously do not have the arm strength like men, so even though it's a closer pitching mound, the reaction time of the batter is that of a 100mph MLB pitcher if she's throwing 70mph.It's a warmup, not a real game situation and it's called sarcasm....
I agree. Most of the people commenting don't know that its just a warmup pitch. And no, the push off foot does not have to be on the rubber when the ball is released. Again, for those that do not know the rules.
@@damionrockwell2300 it's a pitching exercise that emphasizes hip rotation and allows for loose arm whip with tremendous volicity. Again all good pictures do this during warmup. Your statement tells us you know zero about pitching
Traveling is a thing of history in the NBA two steps with no dribbling used to be called now they take 5 or more. Did the rules change or is it just overlooked in the name of showmanship?
A few years back ESPN had baseball players attempting to hit the fastest softball pitcher (at that time) and softball players attempting to hit the "average" fastball at the time which was between 80-86mph. Once the BB players were able to slow their reaction times down the softball turned into a golf ball as they began teeing off. The softball batters couldn't turn on the baseball fast enough.
I understand what you are saying but from a guys point of view this is the sport women should take to the professional level. I love women's softball. It's so competitive.
No doubt, my son trains at a facility that has college softball workouts going on at the same time his baseball practices are going on. Those girls are fierce. FP softball is no joke.
For all the people who are saying its a illegal pitch is for warm ups its like a drill to help you get your push better and be loose its not like she is going to pitch like that during the game and if anyone wants to know its called a walkthrough
I've always been impressed by the great Lisa Fernandez's pitching skills. Baseball mathematicians have determined that one of her underhanded, 68 mile an hour pitches, is equivalent to a 96 mile an basebal pitched overhanded. 😲🙂
We did this in high school between a local college softball team and our baseball team. They were fairly close to speed, about 10 off, but it is that rise of the ball that makes it so hard to hit the darned thing lol
@@southerncross4956this is a warmup called a walkthrough and they can also run to get more speed in the ball. Also this can help the catcher be able to catch faster pitchers.
So first of all this is just a warm up technique that pitchers use called (Walk ups) that’s why it looks so crazy, obviously in a game she would have to start in the mound, yes she does push out and some might say is “crow hopping” but she gets her right toe down that’s why you see the big ass drag mark in the dirt, the rules have changed so that you can push of as long as you get your drag foot down at some point in time before the pitch is delivered
My father played professional men's fast pitch softball back in the early 1960's. Fast and also dangerous! That's why the softball is that color now. A white softball can be hidden against the white uniform backdrop. The ball back then was white. Now it's a color no uniform can be.
im not saying shes slow, but what shes doing is called a walk through which pitchers do to warm up. my point is that when you do these, you have much more power therefore more speed aswell
Been saying that for years fastpitch should have start from the Rubber and release not"" walk to it and then crow hop is what it's called..a lot less blow em away pitchingng toned down
Plant foot does not need to be on rubber at release. They push off the rubber and drag that foot during release. Yes it brings them closer to the hitter But it’s the same in baseball. Watch where the pitchers foot is on release The walk up is illegal but she is warming up.
@@danielives379 Got ya buddy. College is 43 feet. But as u stated with that stretch and foot drag much closer. Imagine standing at bat against Eddie Feigner from the King and his court who threw over 100 mph from that distance. Even pro baseball players couldn’t hit him. lol
Been watching ladies softball since Cat Osterman pitched for Texas. Been amazing to see the hitting skills and power the ladies have acquired. I think they could move the fences back 15-20 feet now and open the game up more
I go back to Joan Joyce days when there was professional softball, as well as I played. This girl absolutely has the form, just needs to work on that illegal pitch and start on the rubber
I still remember the epic journey of the US Women's Softball team at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta Georgia. They weren't even supposed to place and ended up with a Gold Medal. ...still brings a smile to my face, thinking about it.
@@cliffb6063 Bullshit. They could not clock pitches back then. This is just some tall tail. You shold stop this nonsense, you're embarrassing yourself. Behind the back at 112, my God, youre unbelievable.
Look up the pitching speed comparison between FP and baseball. It seems faster to the hitter in FP due to the pitching distance of 43 feet giving the hitter very little time to decide and make contact. Pretty awesome.
Warm. Ups. In the. Bullpen. Wtf is this so hard for people to realize. I'm guessing everyone complaining knows rules but never played a competitive sport themselves.
Im a dude and my friends dont understand why i love college softball so much. This is a fine reason. Explosive pitch put her against pro batter any . She make babe ruth into baby ruth.
I throw a baseball with my left, but I can also throw it with my right, roughly the same speed, but not quite as much accuracy(but close). Same with a football, but a little better with my right. I can underhand a softball fairly fast and accurate(47mph, according to County Fair radar gun). If I throw under handed with my left tho', it either goes over the backstop, into the dirt 6 feet in front of me, or into the dugout(don't knowwhich one until I see people scrambling or hear them cussin' me)!!!⚾️🥎🏈 I don't EVEN try Basketball!! That's a disaster!!!🏀
If you think it's hard to replicate the pitch, try hitting it. 70+ from 43 feet (35 feet at release) looks like high 90s low 100s as it crosses the plate. I've seen more than one college baseball player get smoked by the ladies with a rise pitch.
@bauerj3398 I was about to say the same thing. Softball fast pitch is a more natural motion and therefore much less destructive to the tendons and ligaments like baseball where the body is in an unnatural position from beginning to end.
I totally agree with the person before me her foot has to stay on the picture plate while the ball is in her hand so if the foot comes off the plate and she still has the ball it's an illegal pitch.
@@joemcwilliams2896 allowed to push off at delivery of ball. BUTT FOOT HAS TO BE ON RUBBER UNTIL WIND UP TURNS INTO DELIVERY.. She started her pitch OUT OF CIRCLE. HER HEEL RIGHT FOOT MISSED THE RUBBER
Her pitch is illegal because of where she starts but again in fast pitch softball your foot doesn't have to be in contact with the rubber when you release the ball
Omg some of you people must’ve never played softball. This is a warmup that many upcoming pitchers are taught. It’s called a walk through. This warmup focuses on moving through your pitch and not falling back out of it. For all the people that are saying this is a “Balk” there’s no such thing as a balk in softball it’s only in baseball. For all the people that are saying it’s slow; maybe it’s because the video was taken in slow motion so viewers of the video can sit and watch her mechanics. This girl knows what she’s doing. She’s the one that’s playing D1 collegiate softball.
She got a running start 10ft away then slide past rubber mound another 10ft all in all a total of close to 20ft she covered in that 1 pitch just wow !!
I'll never understand how these gals can sling a softball like this so fast, accurate and add movement to pitches also? Ive tried and it wasnt pretty at all. Tons of talent!
@@johndecker7881never knew a warmup exercise was illegal. In a game, she'll start from the rubber and still throw a 70 plus rise pitch at 37 feet at the point of release. Translate that into baseball terms its the equivalent of hitting a 100mph baseball with good movement.
They have changed the rules the last 20 years. Old rule says you start with both feet on the rubber. You can stride off with one foot but the other had to stay on the rubber till the all left your hand. They modified it saying you could drag your foot off.
Ok yall really need to stop commenting that this is an illegal pitch 1. This is not only a warm up pitch, but a type of warm up called a walk/run though. Pitchers use it to warm up their legs and arm 2. Nobody playing college softball would be that stupid to do this pitching to a battter 3. Some of yall are saying that she crowhopped. Not only did she not crow hop (look at her drag mark) , crowhopping has been legal for quite a while now
She’s a full two steps (6-8’ ) past the rubber. I am not a college softball expert, but that would appear to be an illegal pitch . I am under the impression the foot has to be touching rubber when released.
At release.. her back foot is approx 4feet in front of the rubber. I want to see her live game delivery . I don't understand how much Grey area there is in specific pitching rules
They call it a crow hop, right handed pitchers touch the plate with there right foot, the right foot can never leave the ground after that. There is a lot to learn about softball but this is a brief overview of some pitching rules.
Its a warm up yes not a pitch, but she doesn't need to do a walk through to bring the fire 😊 she has it on demand. They only really add 1 maybe 2 mph velocity to the pitch.
See how the right foot drags behind? Hers is a curve to make a half circle but if you watch other people in that pitch the under pitch, then watch how they drag their foot it’s always different.
Can some people just watch a video of an excellent pitcher and respect the fact that age is 10 times the athlete you are and get over it, not try and make it seem easy. Honestly, try pitching a softball and the first place you'll throw it is up your butt
To the people arguing you don’t need to be in contact with the rubber when you release the pitch. Uhhhh yes, you do Imagine if a hardball pitcher can a) get a running start and b) actually release the ball when you are 10 feet beyond the rubber.
Whats the rule about foot position in conjuction with the pitching rubber on release? I'm not talking the walk-up into the pitch. I know that's illegal, im talking the jump drag rear foot 5 feet off the rubber before release.
She is warming up who gives a crap if she went past the rubber. What counts is when she is on the field. It also doesn't discount the fact she has an incredibly fast pitch.
Back in 19081 at Sam Houston State University they had a girl from Canada on the softball team that threw in the 90's, she was awesome, They practiced right in front of White Hall, our dorm, and we go the them practice and play all the time. A bunch of guys cheering on the girls, fun times
This is warm up. She knows what she's doing.
No shit Sherlock she’s in college
boy stop. He’s just saying
@@Ashtenaguailarfr huh
@@idk-i8wbro he was just saying...💀
Look how consistent her foot work is. She follows the same dirt scrape! That is great!
That's why a pitcher can hit any part of the strike zone today.
Warm up ok, but it's an illegal pitch
YEAH, WHAT YOU SAID, RAY!
crow hop
LET ME SEE YOU HIT IT
I am sure not many can hit it.Its still illegal ..
I’m new on this, please explain why?
All you naysayers can talk ish all you want, but if you stop for a minute, break down her form, technique and realize how hard and accurate she throws a softball... You can see just how talented & amazing she is!
No way i agree 1000% she one tuff women ball was strate
That is a fact jack. That girl form is perfect. She can throw a ball,damn
But it's an illegal pitch. But, they probably all do it. When someone throws hard and shaves 6 feet off the rubber to the home plate distance, they'll be hard to hit.
Fast pitch softball pitchers can throw 100 mph. That is a natural motion for the arm as opposed to overhand that just jacks up an elbow.
But she's not following the rules. Every pitch should be called a ball.
Looks like all the dads who coached their daughters in softball like me noticed that was an illegal pitch
If you 've done much coaching at all, you know this is a warm-up pitch
Obviously, you're not that good of a coach to notice a warm-up pitch.
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
That was NOT an illegal pitch. It wasn't a pitch at all. It's a warm-up exercise to get ready to pitch.
What pitch I missed it 😂
I’m not upset at all over this slowmo breakdown 🤷♂️😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
I know what you mean😂😂😂
It's a real peach!
*She needs to do more squats*
I’m a baseball player, so I don’t know if the rules are the same. In baseball, the foot has to be in contact with the rubber when you make the pitch.
In Men's fastball, the pitcher has to start with both feet on the block but he can jump as far forward as possible. Doesn't leave much time for the batter to react. Ball movement rises from down low.
You obviously never watched a bullpen then bud lmao. Grow up
Yes. And you aren't allowed a running start or releasing ball 8 ft. infront of the rubber.
You're a ball player and you call the rubber a strap? What? I've never heard anyone professional or amateur call it a strap!!
i believe this is baseball.
her foot following the same drag marks exactly is kinda impressive
I don't understand why they don't just start running in from the Warning track to build up even more momentum..
😂😂😂
Then it would be Cricket without wickets, which is just silly.
snap
Maybe they should bowl like cricketeers!
Lmao 😂😂😂
Perfect J. Simply amazing form & power
By the time she releases the ball she’s only a few feet from the catcher.
Exactly. That would be no pitch
Same as the rest of the pitcher's
“She’s only a few feet from the catcher”…I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate. 😝
Exactly
I equate it like putting a professional bowler right in front of the pins…ok, bowl your best game! Gook luck!
Great slo mo! Also its just a step through which helps with timing during a warm up.
Great speed from 13' away. LMFAO
I bet you’re really fun at parties phaha lame azz dude

It’s a warmup routine drill called WALKTHROUGHS. You’re supposed to walk or run, then pitch to practice the power in the pushoff.
I know right! The amount of clueless people in this comment section saying it’s an illegal pitch is scary lol

Its a warm up yes not a pitch, but she doesn't need to do a walk through to bring the fire 😊 she has it on demand. They only really add 1 maybe 2 mph velocity to the pitch.
Jaysoni beachum from FSU would put it in the parking lot....most awesome hitter I have seen in years
It’s the one thing I always noticed about women’s Fastpitch, and nowhere close to being on the mound when they release the ball
I was there at that game and I watche he pitch and warm up. Shes a good pitcher. But the new on they have for Tennessee is really good to.
See how the right foot drags behind? Hers is a curve to make a half circle but if you watch other people in that pitch the under pitch, then watch how they drag their foot it’s always different.
THIS IS TOTALLY WARMUP!! Both my daughters are pitchers... She isnt actually pitching yet...
Son: “dad, who won ?”
Dad: “son, we all won”
Can some people just watch a video of an excellent pitcher and respect the fact that age is 10 times the athlete you are and get over it, not try and make it seem easy. Honestly, try pitching a softball and the first place you'll throw it is up your butt
Illegal pitch this and that but look at that footwork!
She spent majority of her life to perfect she skills. Let's go!
I bet you the Lady Sooners won’t have any trouble slowing her down!!!
The Sooners had no problem hitting off her.
“I will not wear that gaudy orange. It’s not in my color wheel.”
Very cool ! Keep at it !
Chemtrail. Government geoengineering in that sky.
This is a warm up drill called a walk thru drill… not illegal at all unless you actually tried this in a game which would probably get you ejected 😂
Her perfect footwork every time
We'll see how good she is when they come play OKLAHOMA!!!! !
No team will ever top Oklahoma's record of 61 & 1.
Sooners had no problem hitting off her this last season.
To the people arguing you don’t need to be in contact with the rubber when you release the pitch. Uhhhh yes, you do
Imagine if a hardball pitcher can a) get a running start and b) actually release the ball when you are 10 feet beyond the rubber.
wonder how fast it is, she's getting as much core muscle and mechanics as she can, too bad it's illegal
Karlyn from any angle is gorgeous !!! 💪🏻
Yes she did step over, but it was still a beautiful pitch. I'm positive she can still pitch the same if she didn't step over. NEGITIVE VIBES !!!!!
Perfect form!
Thank you. Imagine her hand strength and endurance. The view was just right to see it all
Whats the rule about foot position in conjuction with the pitching rubber on release? I'm not talking the walk-up into the pitch. I know that's illegal, im talking the jump drag rear foot 5 feet off the rubber before release.
Wow! Looks good!
WOW, that wind up is BRU-TAL!!!!! ❤❤❤
I could almost see a flame behind that ball ... Dang girl that was smokin !!!!
Looks pretty darn good to me and she's just warming up
I mean it didnt even shoulder the wall of the pipe.. CLEAN
Nothing illegal about it. It's a freaking' WARM UP!
She is warming up who gives a crap if she went past the rubber. What counts is when she is on the field. It also doesn't discount the fact she has an incredibly fast pitch.
Back in 19081 at Sam Houston State University they had a girl from Canada on the softball team that threw in the 90's, she was awesome, They practiced right in front of White Hall, our dorm, and we go the them practice and play all the time. A bunch of guys cheering on the girls, fun times
That was going to be my question, NCAA rules require the pitcher to begin....with one foot statically on the rubber.
I guess to be fair, she actually did touch the rubber.
