This practice was such an issue that MLB felt of all the rules in the book, this one needed the example put in the book? Get the F out of here if you believe that...
Yes, that is exactly what the rule is for. In FED, the pitcher doesn't have to disengage with his pivot foot. In OBR/NCAA he does have to.

What levels do you work?
