I hope my description is easy to understand:
While working from the windup a pitcher stands on the rubber facing the plate with his hands apart. Without moving his feet, the pitcher brings his hands together in front of him. After a few seconds he steps back, completes his windup and pitces.
My question is once he puts his hands together can he step off if a runner breaks for the next base? Or would moving his hands be considered the start of his windup?
Please give the Fed ruling for this play.
Thanks in advance.
