Seems to me that from set you are already turned, but from windup, even with no rocker step, you have to add the turn time (or risk the results of an all-arm pitch).

Go try it. Stand on mound in wind-up position, lift leg straight up and then try to TURN on pivot foot putting pivot foot in hole in front of mound as in stretch position and try to pitch.
You'll break your ankle. Why would you have to turn?

The reason for my last post was,

The elapsed time of movement to the plate is much shorter from the wind-up.

NOT, "risk the results of an all-arm pitch".

Plus, it's less movement than from the stretch. Stupid me, I always thought it was because the pitcher was limited on what he was allowed to do from the wind-up vs the stretch.

I think the original purpose to my posted question is lost here.

But I think I have the answer I was looking for. I am with you Chris s, I have never seen a pitcher throw to a base while in the wind-up position while on the rubber, and if I do......THAT'S A BALK!!
