NCAA windup requires entire free foot to not be in front of pivot foot. OP pitcher does not comply with this. We won't worry about squared shoulders.

Rationalization is that this pitcher is in the set. What FED set rule is different than NCAA?

If the pitcher isn't in the wind-up, he's in the set. So if the "windup" rule is different then the "set" rule is also different. Maybe I'm just mis-understanding.

By rule, the pitcher shown in the video has his free foot in the set position in FED. However, his pivot foot is in the wind-up position. Thus, it's the "hybrid" in FED that was the POE this year -- and, apparently, enforced differently in different locales. Search on previous threads -- I'm pretty sure there were some pictures of the various feet positions and a discussion of them.
