"I've heard umpires say "if he does it every time" he's legal"
So if a pitcher were to pump one time once, and the second time twice would that be a balk. Not according to the rules.
I am not sure what "natural movement" really means either but, once the pitcher begins to deliver the ball, (TOP) to the batter, he has to complete the pitch.
Maybe one of our historians, MB or Jenkins no more about the meaning.
