Remember, in ASA, it's when the pitcher is:
(FP) simulating or taking the signal or
(SP) in a position to pitch.
There is nothing in ASA which requires any motion on behalf of the pitcher. If you're ready to go and the pitcher is in contact with the pitcher's plate, that is good enough. If the batter doesn't request (and is granted) time and crosses the plate to the opposite batter's box, the call is dead ball, batter is out.
