From the windup position, with a runner on third, pitcher can step and throw to third?

I'm assuming from "the windup position" means he is in contact with the pitcher's plate.

I'm confused here because, rule clearly states, "step and throw to a base in an attempt to pick off a runner". But, 8.01(a) states:

From this position any natural movement associated with the delivery of the ball to the batter commits the pitcher to pitch without interruption or alteration. The pitcher shall not raise either foot from the ground, except that in the actual delivery of the ball to the batter.


Please shed some light on this rule please!
