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!
