i'm not sure if you're talking about me, but i recently did this in a game then posted the question here...the thread title is "illegal pitch".
i called an illegal pitch with no one on base because of this OBR rule "The Windup Position. The pitcher shall stand facing the batter, his entire pivot foot on, or in front of and touching and not off the end of the pitcher's plate, and the other foot free. From this position any natural movement associated with his delivery of the ball to the batter commits him to the pitch without interruption or alteration"...." it's the last sentence of that quote that i referred to...he must finish his pitch, otherwise, it seems to be an illegal pitch.
the consensus was that while TECHNICALLY it may have been the right call, nonetheless it is much easier and more acceptable to simply ignore it, unless it repeatedly happens.
