Please see the following:
Umpire's Resource Center - 2010 High School Baseball Rule Changes by Kyle McNeely
I quote:
"2. SITUATION: The pitcher, in the set position, takes his stance with the ball in his pitching hand and his pitching arm hanging straight down. RULING: This is legal. If the pitcher were to swing his pitching arm, while in this position, it would be illegal and a balk if runner(s) are on base."
Also see case book play 6.1.3.Situation P, 2010 casebook p. 51.
This is a change as I understood the 2009 rules my good friend.
