As i stated earlier we haven't started ball here in wyo yet but I want to have my arguments ready for those coaches/mgrs who view this as a balk. Thanks

Thane,
Take a look at 8.05(m). It says quite clearly that the it is a balk if the pitcher
delivers the pitch without coming to a stop.
Throwing to a base without coming to a stop is perfect legal and allowable.
