Windup in FED

I always figured if a pitcher wanted to stop during his motion he should be working from the stretch. Thanks, Pro ball - by the time interps trickle down to us they're usually pretty messy....

You don't generally see a pro pitcher start in windup with runners on base, because they work the set with runners on base. Maybe occassionaly if they have a situation where they are indifferent to the base runner, and if so, why have a rule to balk, when they are indifferent anyway?
