Sorry, I still don't see how any of 6-2-4(d)1 applies without a stop or hesitation of the delivery.

The "(a) (b) and (c)" means the stepping out / holding up the hand part. It doesn't mean the pitcher "stops or hesitates" because then the pitcher CAN"T "legally deliver the ball" as listed in the sentence.

You're trying to give the editor too much credit for logical writing.
