In front of, not behind

Where exactly does this mean his non-pivot foot is legal? There was a pitcher who started with his pivot foot completely on the rubber but his other foot was halfway in between first base and home and thus his non-pivot foot was outside of the rubber. He then came set by bringing his non-pivot foot parallel to his pivot foot.

This is a balk, right?
should read in front of a line, not on or behind.

Ex. Common little league gorilla stance is legal pre-set position, followed by legal set position.
