That is the position of her feet at the time of release. Even though her intial foot placement is legal, I feel the pitch is illegal since she is pushing off from in front of the plate.
Legal or illegal?

Technically, illegal. In practice, allowed. I can't cite you anything on the latter, however. I'm interested to read other's views on this.
