SCYGUY, You say he was in the box at time of pitch but out of it during windup. Do does he come out before the pitch and get back in prior to release? Even if he leaves the box during the windup, I've got something. 8 defensive players must be in fair territory and the catcher has to be in his legal position for the ball to be put in play. If he leaves the box before the pitcher starts his motion, call time. If he leaves during his motion, balk him.

You might want to take a close look at the definition of "time of the pitch." <<>>
FED rules 2-28-3 <<>>
You state above "If he leaves during his motion, balk him."
Unless I missed something F2 is confined only until "time of the pitch." That would be before F1 begins his motion.<<>>
Might be hard to explain that to the coach.
Thanks

I'm not seeing your point. Of course I said if F2 leaves during F1's motion, I'm balking him under the guidelines of FED 2-28-3. Thus, if F2 steps out prior to F1 beginning his motion, that is nothing. According to the rule that you provide, if F2 steps out once the motion starts, balk. I'm fairly positive that is what I posted.
