What in your hybrid variation makes it not a legal set position?
His pivot foot ? cite please.

The hybrid stance mentioned violates the requirements because one foot might meet the requirements but the other won't.
It's not a set because the pivot foot is not "with his entire pivot foot in contact with or directly in front of the pitcher's plate." (6-1-3). It's not a windup because the "pitcher's non-pivot foot shall be in any position on or behind a line extending through the front edge of the pitcher's plate." (6-1-2).
If the non-pivot is in front, then the pivot has to be entirely in contact, not just astride or touching.
