Thanks,
No, the intent of the rule was to keep all the pitchers in check. For that matter, the men's game allows the pitcher to leap as long as the toe of the pivot foot is pointed down.

While it is apparent that you are searching for the answer, you finished up your post almost is if you were seeking absolution for your pitcher. I suggest you get your pitcher to work on her drag. Anything shy of that may lead to problems for her down the road.

Good luck,
