DG - I've seen enough of your posts, but on this one you either kicked it or just mis-stated. (I'd like to think the latter) From either position, you can only step off with your pivot foot. Any movement of the non-pivot foot unless it is going into the "stretch", pitching to the plate, or stepping to a base for the purpose of picking off a runner is a balk.
You got me. I don't know what I was thinking. Stepping off with the same foot as the pitching hand IS stepping off with the pivot foot, not the non-pivot. Stepping off with the non-pivot is a balk. Thanks.
