This doesn't sound like the hybrid stance to me. It sounds like the pitcher came set with his feet aligned toward home, not opened up (left foot in the direction of the 45-foot point of the first base line) which is what I thought the hybrid stance entailed. But then he lifted his free foot, planted it behind him towards first, and then lifted it again to stride home.
