Interesting.......
Even more interesting. Define direction. When does it become a step to 1B or 2B. Using your logic, a RH pitcher could whirl to second, and throw to 1B. If a lefty brings his foot up even with the rubber, and then proceeds to step entirely behind the rubber on a throw to 1B, what do you call then?
