Brad explained that since the "start and stop windup" could not be considered a "quick return pitch" the only place it would fit is under "Balk".
He ruled that it would be a balk and a ball on the batter.
Don't attack me on HIS ruling. While it may not make sense to us it is simply a ruling that FED placed as official through the newsletter.
IT HAS NOT BEEN OVERRULED, ignored yes, overruled no.
Now a personal comment:
Under OBR the "start and stop wind-up" is considered a "nuttin'".
An umpire that would even warn a pitcher if he did it more than once is coming very close to being OOO.
