Please help settle an arguement in our local association. LH pitcher in stretch w/ R1.

F1 steps at about a 40 degree angle towards first and throws to F3 for a pick-off attempt. F1s body momentum carries him towards the 1st Base foul line. PO is successful.

Q: Is this legal, if so what grounds?

I was a left-handed pitcher in TX in HS and this was a "technique" taught that was successful. In 4 years of varsity AAA ball, I was never balked for this move. I believe that there was an interpretation that said this was legal as long as F1 did cross the 45 degee angle. I know this interpretation is not in the FED rule or case book nor is it in the OBR. We have a number of Wendelstedt graduates who agree with me.
