Thanks for the quick answer. Does anyone know if the IHSA rules are the same - I.e. NO step-back. I have been told IHSA - Allows the pitcher to step-back with non-pivot foot. The rule reference would be helpful also.
Additionally - what is the justification for allowing a step-back or NOT allowing a step back. Where is the advantage to the pitcher or dis-advantage to the batter/runner?
