LHP P/O Throw to 2nd

[12-6 curve]

I'm watching NCAA game Ole Miss @ Auburn. Ole Miss's LHP attempts to pick off runner at 2nd. He doesn't step off, he does the jump spin move and when he does, he spins to his right. I thought any pickoff attempt at 2nd, a LHP had to spin to the left, and opposite for RHP...??

It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so

You thought wrong. Who from or where did you get that thought?

inside and outside moves are both legal done properly.
