It looks to me like she lands left of center so her feet are lined up more with that than they are with the plate.
Or it could be that it helps her get completely airborne.

I specifically told her not to start with both feet in a line; our pitching circles aren't as nice as the ones Jordy plays on, so the possibility of tipping over while taking the sign is real.
Some baseball pitchers do this but it might be easier to be consistent with your mechanics doing this with an overhand delivery.I thought it would make pitcher tougher to time/ hit off her if she could mix up her deliveries. Sometimes sprinter and sometimes rocker.
Why are we seeing Top Level pitchers with a starting stance with one foot directly behind the other. Example Jordy Bahl, Alex Storako among others.
I do not see why this would be advantageous. I have not seen a pitching coach that suggests that starting stance and I do not know of any other sports besides fencing that would start an athletic movement with one foot in front of the other in a line.
