Huh? If you put a mirror on this, it would simply be a good LH move to first base. The foot didn't come back behind the rubber (well, all I'm saying is that if we have a 2 man crew this isn't going to be called even if it might have been behind) and the step looks to be more to third than the plate, so it's legal.
