The online version accessed through the main USA Softball site is correct. Official Rulebook - USA Softball

(Men’s, Women’s and Coed Class C, D and E/REC) The pitcher may take a position from the front edge of the pitcher’s plate to 6 feet behind the pitcher’s plate with both feet firmly on the ground and with one or both feet within the 24-inch
length of the pitcher’s plate.

I saw another on a State web site which has the wrong wording you quoted.
