What does out of the stretch mean in baseball?
its a shorter pitching motion than the windup, you usually "pitch form the stretch" when there are runners on base
When do you pitch from the windup?
Generally, only when there are no runners on base. However, you could also pitch from the windup when there is a runner only on third base, or on 2nd and 3rd, or when the bases are loaded. Pitching from the windup can be a problem with a runner on third because this will allow the runner to get a longer lead off the base than the lead the runner will get when the pitcher pitches from the stretch.
