Per FED, The picther may use any windup desired provided:
a. no motion to pitch is made without immediately delivering the ball to the batter. ===> So once the motion starts if they stop then they have not immediately delivered the ball to the batter.
The same is true for ASA, but the point the pitch starts is different. In ASA the pitch starts once the hands separate, so any stop before that point is legal. After that, it's an illegal pitch.
