Pitching from the stretch means the pitcher starts their delivery with their front foot already on the rubber, ready to throw the ball. This is typically done when there are runners on base. Pitching from the windup involves a more elaborate motion where the pitcher starts with both feet on the rubber and takes a step back before delivering the pitch. The main difference is that pitching from the stretch is a quicker and more simplified motion to prevent baserunners from stealing bases.
