What does pitching from the stretch mean and how does it differ from pitching from the windup?
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.

When do you pitch from the windup?
Generally, only when there are no runners on base. However, you could also pitch from the windup when there is a runner only on third base, or on 2nd and 3rd, or when the bases are loaded. Pitching from the windup can be a problem with a runner on third because this will allow the runner to get a longer lead off the base than the lead the runner will get when the pitcher pitches from the stretch.

Winding up for a pitch can properly be called what?
Winding up for a pitch can properly be called the "pitching motion" or "windup." This refers to the sequence of movements a pitcher uses to prepare for delivering the ball, which includes gathering momentum and positioning the body for an effective throw. The windup is crucial for generating speed and control in the pitch.
When pitching from the windup must both feet be in contact with the mound prior to starting your motion?
No, only the pivot foot has to be in contact with the rubber. See Rule 8.01(a) of the Major League Rulebook.
