Howdy, 
 
Recently witnessed a RH pitcher who at the end of his stride motion to home does a funky little hop that has him land about 6-10 inches off the rubber ball still in hand - and then he finishes the pitch. He starts on the rubber - but by the time he finishes his stride - he has moved significantly closer to the plate..... 
 
Is this legal??? 
 
THANKS in advance for insight!!!!

 He does this from the set position or from windup?  I can't visualize it.
