This turns on its head a longstanding interpretation of what constitutes an out when transferring the ball to the throwing hand during a pivot. If that's the new direction, they'd be better off just eliminating the concept of voluntary release as part of the proof of control during the catch of a batted ball or gloving of a thrown ball.
