Please take a look at Pitcher #3 (lefty), in particular in the 3rd frame.
Since this is intended as a tutorial for umpires, please tell me this is incorrectly being described as legal.

At picture #3 on pitcher #3, she had done nothing illegal. Pivot foot on the ground, still in contact with the pitcher's plate, and the stride foot just beginning the stride. That pitch wasn't illegal, until picture #5, when the pivot/drag foot stopped dragging and elevated.
