No, he positions his feet legally.
If I recall, the POE illegal position was to toe the rubber with your pivot foot as if you were going to pitcher from the wind-up position, but the free foot is in front of the rubber, as if to pitcher from the set position.
His free foot is behind the rubber. Totally legal. He just doesn't do any wind-up. No rocker step. Nothing. He just steps and throws.
There's no rule that says you have to use the same pitching motion each time. You don't have to have a wind-up. Usually, he throws a pitch out so the catcher can throw the runner out stealing.
