Looking in my BRD (2005), and it states that NCAA and OBR have that requirement.

I was looking for a case play but don't have my book with me. Maybe someone has a reference.

Rule 8.01(a) (snipped):

When a pitcher holds the ball with both hands in front of his body, with his pivot foot in contact with the pitcher’s plate and his other foot free, he will be considered in the Windup Position.
Rule 8.01(a) Comment: In the Windup Position, a pitcher is permitted to have his “free” foot on the rubber, in front of the rubber, behind the rubber or off the side of the rubber.

As long as the pivot foot is in contact, it doesn't matter where on the rubber it is.
