Finally, the point Carl raises regarding OBR not addressing movement of the non-pivot foot on a feint is outstanding. I had no idea it was overlooked in OBR wording (as I suspect most didn't). I am happy to accept Carl's efforts in checking this out and finding that it should be interpreted the same as Fed. Excellent point Carl.

The professional interpretation is that any feint should be preceeded by a legal step, despite the wording (or lack of it) in the OBR. This is identical to the FED position, as Carl has noted. Here is what JEA has to say on the subject:
"
Customs and Usage: A pitcher may not feint a throw to 1st base, but he can feint a throw to other bases if he steps legally." [Rule 8.05(b)]
Just thought you'd like to see it in B&W (grin)
