ss17,

From OBR Rule 8.01:

Quote:
(c) At any time during the pitcher’s preliminary movements and until his natural pitching motion commits him to the pitch, he may throw to any base provided he steps directly toward such base before making the throw.
Any umpires who are "stunned" by this really ought to take a look at the rule book.

JM
