Can a pitcher change his delivery from pitch to pitch like slide-step to full leg kick back to slide-step while pitching to the same batter?
A pitcher can change his release type as many times as he wants during any atbat. Of course most pitchers don't. If there aren't any baserunners on then he will use the full leg kick to generate the most power. If he has baserunners on the he will use the slide step in order for runners to have less of a jump in case they want to steal. Sometimes you will see a pitcher use the full leg kick with a runner on third base because runners do not usually steal home. Therocket4ever

What does a pitcher do?
A pitcher throws a variety of pitches from the mound. He or She may throw a fastball, knuckleball, screwball, changeup, etc.... He or She may throw the ball fast or slow. Each pitch requires a different movement by the pitcher that the batter and others may not notice. When the ball is in play the pitcher is responsible for backing up the other players on many of the bases. The pitcher is needed for a back up play mainly at home plate. The pitcher's main responsibilities are to help back up the bases, stop runners from coming home, and try to strike out the batter.

Is it OK for a high school pitcher to throw behind a batter who continually steps out as the pitcher begins his delivery?
In a word, NO! You are going to allow a batter to dictate what kind of pitch you throw because of something other than his talents? You will add a ball to the count, get the umpire upset, possibly hurt the batter, and get your butt thrown out of the game. Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
