Yes, this is very basic, but can a pitcher balk with no runners on base? My understanding of a balk is that it occurs when a pitcher makes a motion to one base but throws to another in an effort to pick off a runner or fake the batter.... I don't understand how it can happen with no runners, yet I've been told it can...
(btw, I coach a 13-14 boys Dixie Youth team)
