Hmmm, good catch. I am surprised by this because I got the link from the USSSA.
The actual wording is here:
RULE 6. PITCHING RULE
Sec 1. A legal pitch shall conform to the following:
A. Prior to the pitch, the pitcher shall put both feet on the pitcher’s plate. Part
of the pivot foot must be on top of the pitcher’s plate. The non-pivot foot
must be in contact with the pitcher’s plate. Both feet must be within the
24-inch length of the pitcher’s plate.
The hands must be apart.
The pitcher may not take the pitching position on the pitcher’s plate
without possession of the ball, and the pitcher may not simulate pitching
with or without the ball when near the pitcher’s plate.
