I appreciate everyones input. I am not being clear on the question. When I say step, I do not me a passive low energy movement. What I am speaking of is a strong movement that not only goes out but has a distinct upward movement and then accelerates as the pitcher descends down into the snap at the bottom so that all of the speed is generated at the bottom of the snap and transfered into the fingers.

The people I see teaching leap and drag are teaching a movement that is so explosive from the rubber, that they have maxed out by the time they are landing and the movement does not go up more than 8 inches off the ground with the stride foot.
