If you lineup like he appears to do he has trouble generating power to HP as well as his pickoff move.
If you are taking 1 or2 primary steps leadoff you are wasting a throw to 1st. Let the runner try to steal. 3 steps is a whole different ball game.
When you are at balance position it is easy to change directions of your move. Once you start forward to the plate you are commited. If the runner is still only taking 1 or 2 primary leadoff steps I am probably going hard to the plate unless I send a B move warning shot.
Son has picked off 6 runners in 7 innings. Umps have called it unfair but legal. He has picked off 1 in 4 innings at college in 2 attempts.
To me a PO is whne you nail the runner who is not breaking for 2nd base. They both are POs but just not as sweet.
