is patently absurd. If it were true, no pitcher would ever be able to throw a pick-off to any base without first legally disengaging. This is clearly not the case.

JM's got it right. Think about what you said bzydadof2... if the free foot moves at all, he has to pitch. What about the RHP pickoff to third? Pivot foot doesn't move, but the free foot does. This is legal, is it not?
