			I have seen more and more of this wind-up this year.  Might I say "coaching"? 
 
Maybe too much TV watching the BIGS!  It is a legal position there.  In FED it would be considered a "set position", but in our association we have not been enforcing it.  Maybe things will change next year, either FED will change the definition of the wind-up (doubt it), or we will start enforcing the rule. 
 
I personally don't see the advantage/disadvantage. 
 
I have also seen some pitchers mounds though, if you take a step back, you might fall off!
