That looks legal. My question is, what was it that threw off her timing? If she just stepped on the plate with her pitching hand at her side, that would have been "presenting the ball" (still not rule book language, but I presume would satisfy the umpire) then put her hand behind her back to take the signal she is right where she was.
Ump didn’t want her hand behind her back, so she had to start it in front of her. Said she was hiding the ball.
I’m sure if she had practice time it wouldn’t be an issue, but she started that to take signs and then really liked it.
Tell a 10 year old you can’t use your normal motion mid game, it’s a tough adjustment.
