This list will be updated, modified and/or revised on a regular and continuous basis but will be finalized by May 1 each year for that year’s National Championship Finals. The criteria for this list includes any foreign pitchers, any pitchers who pitch on the ISC list in the Major Fast Pitch program, Men’s 9-Man Major Modified pitchers who won games at National Championships, and any individual pitching in a Class A National Championship Final who has won two games or more. Any appeals regarding this list can be made through the Modified Pitch sub-committee.
