What about 8.05(c)? Doesn't it say you need to step directly towards the base you are throwing to? Seems like this rule is not really taken literally.

I'm thinking of teaching my left hand pitchers to step at an imaginary point right between home and first for a deceptive pick off move to first.

I suppose we might run into some umpires who woul balk it but I'm guessing most will allow it.
