In ASA and NCAA both feet must be in contact with the pitching plate prior to taking or simulating taking the signal.In lower levels of play,I would mention this infraction to the pitcher and coach after the first inning.In College and ASA Advanced play,the umpire better be calling this an illegal pitch.Again in NFHS this is perfectly legal.
