Rule 6-3 says "...the pitcher may turn on his pivot foot or lift it in a jump turn to step with the non-pivot foot toward a base while throwing ..." The first time that I looked at that I took it as the pitcher must do one of those actions to throw to first but now I look at it and nowhere does it say that the pitcher must do one of those. So I guess I feel better about my call unless I'm looking at this wrong.
