The question exhibits a serious lack of context.

It's certainly not required of the center fielder... or the batter... or the scorekeeper.

Hmmm ... but it is required of the pitcher by rule. But would anybody call this? By that I mean a really weak pitcher who just pitches slow pitch style has not pushed off or drug but I'd never thought of calling it illegal.

Do any of them have a "pivot foot"?

They do if they are pivoting.

Base umpires have a pivot foot.

'Course not many of our local guys use them.
