Here is the "Miami Play" from 30 years ago............There was no groundskeeper involved since it happened at the CWS.

So, the pitcher did step off the rubber before throwing in real life, but in the movie, they left that little chunk of realism out. Oh, that and they made it about the Twins and the Mariners. I guess college baseball wouldn't draw enough moviegoers.
