Balk question

[teeare]

I guess I'm just a bit confused. I thought the 'Set Position' followed the stretch. "Before assuming Set Position, the pitcher may elect to make any natural preliminary motion such as that known as the "Stretch." ' (8.01b). If this is true, then this question does really mean the Set Position? I would guess that this question refers to the pitcher in contact with the rubber before the stretch, which I believe is not yet in the Set Position. And, yes, I agree that the pitcher can step and throw to a base from this position. (Is this then the Windup Position?)
