I'm guessing they clamped down on her a fair bit in Japan. Japan always had the most strict rules. They never even used to allow pitchers to use rosin. I can tell they've loosened the rules in the last few years but, I'm guessing they didn't let her get away with the small step she does.Yes, Monica definitely gets a pass!
The other thing about her small step is, if there was a hole in front of the rubber I think that would prohibit her from that step. If she wasn't playing on a field where the rubber is level with the ground, it'd be a lot harder for her to do that step.
