Leaving early is one thing because of the timing involved. This deal with the pitcher lifting does not seem to give her an advantage in control or velocity. I agree with fastpitch that it can lead to a loss of focus. The baserunners advance (into scoring position) which puts more pressure on the pitcher. If this is a "cheat", it is not a very good one. Just play ball.
