Does that same rule apply at 2B? Or because second is not a required throw, where you throw it and what that fielders subsequent moves dont matter? Team we were playing last night their P threw to the second baseman on two occasions who never broke towards the bag and wasn't really that close and my asst coach asked me if that was a balk and I said I didn't think so at 2B because he is not even required to throw.
You are correct. The same rule does NOT apply at 2B because no throw is required to 2B.
