If you read what it says under the pictures though it states that the pivot foot must be on top of the pitchers plate. Also NFHS 6-1-1 states that "The pitcher shall take a position with the pivot foot on or partially on the top surface of the pitchers plate." Where ASA for Female ASA 6-1-C2 States "The pitcher shall take a position with both feet in contact with the pitcher's plate."
