Yes, unless the reason the pivot foot is in the air is due to a hole in front of the pitcher's plate.
If both feet are airborne above the plane of the level ground, that is a leap and it is illegal in ASA (and all other fastpitch rule books I have seen).
However, small leaps (1" or so) seem to be rarely (if ever) called at the upper levels (high school age and up). It is still illegal, though, according to the book.
