I certainly agree that the phrase "drop his hands..." comes in the context of the quick pitch rule. But elsewhere the rules are more explicit. For example, it could say "except if the pitcher throws...

Agreed...
The same point was made by an "old" ump I talked to today. Of course, if the runner went on the "stop" a throw to second would get him easily!

OK I get it now...
I can see the reasoning that the set position deals primarily with delivering pitches not throws to first. Clearly the "case law" determines application of the stature, but the "statute" plain...

Still confused on this...help!!!
The situation presented here starts with the pitcher in the "set position" - by definition he has already stopped.
This still defies my understanding.
The very definition of the set position...

"When the pitcher disengages the rubber,
...he must drop his hands to his sides" is the exact sentence from ORB. It says "when" he disengages, not "before he re-engages."
