In 2002 the Independent Softball Association added a division for Modified Pitch play and in 2003 named a National Director to help establish a complete set of rules and assist local and state directors in running Modified leagues and tournaments. ISA will offer play in both the 9 man and 10 man versions.

Any ISA director needing help to establish a modified program in your area or interested in running a tournament or serving on our national committee should contact the National Modified Pitch Director Steven Kenworthy at 732 906-8263 or for more info. Email: ISAofNewJersey@aol.com

All the rules and regulations pertaining to the Independent Softball Association Modified Fast Pitch program are governed by the ISA Modified Pitch committee and can be found in the ISA rule book.

The criteria for this list includes any foreign pitchers, any pitchers who pitch on the ISC list in the Major Fast Pitch program, and Men’s 9-Man Major Modified pitchers who won games at National Championships. Any appeals regarding this list can be made through the Modified Pitch committee. A pitcher can always move up but NEVER down (unless removed from list). Major Pitcher’s List
