ex. picks up right foot touches mound 12 inches then finishes stride at 18 inches.
this came up four times, with a 2 man team. the base umpire says i'm not sure if its a balk, home plate says yes balk but not my call??

As far as I can tell, once he commits to home he must go home, and how many times his right foot taps the ground on the way is irrelevant.
If PU sees a balk he needs to call it, but this ain't it. Is he depending on BU to call balks?
