There was a huge discussion, but I don't remember at which site.

Some thought it OK.

Some thought (I'm one) that if you look closely that the pivot foots hits (a puff of dust and a scuff mark seem to be there) out in front of the rubber before he throws.

Some thought it violates the requirement to pitch while in contact.

I think the hands are too high for FED but OK for OBR.
