8.01(e) does not apply because the jab step and jump steps are considered to be moves from the rubber.
IOW because they are from the rubber the bit about becoming an infielder because he stepped off doesn't apply because he's still considered on.
The ruling about the jab step is in writing in the MLBUM. The jump step is considered as being in the same category by interpretation.
