How do you step off of rubber for pickoff?

To step off the rubber for a pickoff, the pitcher must first come to a complete stop while on the pitching rubber. Then, they should step backward with their pivot foot (the foot closest to the base) while maintaining contact with the rubber until their foot is off the rubber. Once the pivot foot has stepped off, the pitcher can quickly turn and throw to the base in an attempt to pick off the baserunner. It's essential to ensure the action is smooth and quick to prevent the runner from advancing.
