You may have got to the root of this discussion.
The rule book contends that there is only ONE legal way to disengage the pitcher's plate, that is by 'stepping back'.
So when a pitcher fakes to third and "comes off" the pitcher's plate has he
disengaged or should he be consider still on the plate?
Enquiring minds want to know.
