Never hurts to start with the rule book:

SECTION 33 LEAP
A leap is when both feet are airborne by the pitcher prior to delivering the pitch.
However, neither of these terms is actually in the Illegal Pitch rule. What it says is (6.2c)

length. Pushing off with the pivot foot from a place other than the pitcher’s
plate is illegal.
Given that 6.2c doesn't use the terms crow hop, replant or leap, I would prefer not to use any of those terms when discussing what his pitcher did or did not do while pitching that led to having an IP called on her.
