Question for those in the know here....Our pitcher starts from way out on the edge of the pitching rubber.  Does he do this to get tailing motion on his pitches as they head to the plate?  Or is this just how some pitchers like to setup for their comfort zone?

Not sleeping. On a plane. 
 

It’s a combination of the two. Depends on the pitcher. Most of the time they set up where they are most comfortable, like a batter in the batter’s box.

And if he isn’t careful where he sets up on the rubber can indicate what pitch is coming.

Thanks. Shortest season I can ever recall. 
I was doing PBP on Twitter last night from a hotel restaurant before my flight departed. Didn’t have all of my resources so the game thread took a backseat. Appreciate the follow and the comments.
