(b) The Set Position. Set Position shall be indicated by the pitcher when he stands facing the batter with his pivot foot in contact with, and his other foot in front of, the pitcher’s plate, holding the ball in both hands in front of his body and coming to a complete stop.
It has to be in front of the plate. Not on top. However, this is a "Don't do that" issue from what I can tell.

Why would a pitcher want to do this any way?
