If you're talking about a high school game (Federation) then you should read rule 6-1-2 which clearly states ...

After the pitcher has placed his pivot foot clarly behind the plate, he has the right to change to the set position or throw or feint to a base the same as that of any infielder."

That should answer your question.

Be careful though, because in NCAA and PRO ball this woould be a legal move.

Get yourself a copy of Carl Childress' BRD (eUmpire.com), it's well worth the price to be able to immediately see a comparative on rules application for FED, NCAA and PRO ball. I recommend it highly.


Me, too. (grin)
