Please do the best you can with my explanation and help me with this. Thanks.
Dont have a rule to back it up, but several pitchers' in MLB use this type of motion.

Basically remember the TOP (time of pitch), that's what matters most.
PItcher can do lots of different things until he comes set.

Then any movement commits him to pitch etc.,
