I must disagree. It is rule 6.4A-G and note. The pitcher must present the ball, then start his motion. He must face the plate and have a pivot foot on the rubber. He must deliver within 5 seconds of starting his motion. The note specifically states the pitcher should be encouraged to have fun with it because ultimately, the ball is coming slowly and you're not going to fool the batter. Let them do what they want, as long as it's under 5 sdeconds.
