Unfortunately, only a 2005 book is at-hand right now. Bear with me if I've listed the incorrect POE number.
Point of Emphasis #34 (2005) section E:
"A pitcher fielding a ball in the circle is just another fielder and runners can leave their base. If they leave their base, the same rule applies while the pitcher holds the ball in the circle; once the runner stops, they must decide which way to continue or be called out"
This passage kind of touches on the subject, but leads me to ask a question.
At what point on the described play does the "just another fielder" holding the ball in the circle magically transform into a "pitcher" holding the ball in the circle?
