What you seem to be having a problem grasping is what Mike mentioned. You want to define "in front of the body" as having the hands together directly towards home plate. You're taking things too literally.

Let's take it to an extreme. If the pitcher has her back to home plate so that her chest is facing second base, and she has her hands together at her belly button, they are still "in front of the body". They just aren't where you want them to be.
