This is legal, (to throw without stepping,etc) provided F1's pivot foot touches the ground prior to separateng his hands.

Lefty's get by with all kinds of stuff. The angle of the stride when throwing to 1B vs the RH to 3B. The quick step off the plate and pick to 1B. This is where having played the game at higher levels is invaluable. You understand these modifications of the rules.
