Quick Pitch?

I don't think a fraction of a second could be considered a complete stop. Although I sure there are some technical scienctific umpires out there thay may disagree with me.

I basically watch to make sure the pitcher's free leg is not initiating a delivery before the hands have stopped. I don't care how long or short they stop, as long as they stop. Only then can that free leg begin the kick.
