There is (or was) a pitcher around here that does the same thing. It looks as if he's jumping toward the plate when he pushes off. His mechanics seem all screwed up to me, I was always taught keep the head still, quiet before the storm, blah, blah blah.

Anyway, the first time I saw him pitch, I watched very carefully. He wasn't "running into the pitch" so he was fine. The kid went to high school here, and also attended a local D2 college. I was questioned about it once. My reply was that, "he is prohibited from running into the pitch, which he's not doing, its legal." Never heard another word about it.
