		| If I'm interpreting this correctly, I can see how a right handed pitcher could attempt a pickoff to 1B from the windup, or a lefty to 3B.  Basically just step with the free foot directly to the base and throw.  But what about a righty to 3B (or lefty to 1B)?  Do you have to step with free foot first (step across your body and turn to throw) or can you step with the pivot foot first (and do a kinda snap throw)?  What about a hop move to 2B or 3B (for righty, 1B for lefty)? |

 |  So a hop move is legal?
