Question on Pitcher Foot Placement

[Jboval]

Now I know you are not allowed per OBR to have your foot off the end of the pitcher plate when pitching (8.01.B), but I can find no reference to this being the case in LL rule set.

I could of sworn that I saw an interpretation or handout for LL saying that in fact the pitcher had to have the entire foot within the pitcher plate length, and not off the end, but now I cannot find it anywhere.

Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks!

I am not finding the part about his entire foot needing to be in contact in OBR. Where does it say that exactly? 8.01( has no mention from what I have seen to say the entire foot has to be in contact and none off the side. This may be why you can't find it in LL rule book since much of it is based on the OBR.

The LL RIM has a diagram of legal and illegal foot placement, but there doesn't appear to be any "written rule" (that I could find, anyhow) that covers anything more than the pivot foot must be in contact with the plate.
