no strech balk
gents:
just to clarify, the pitcher definately did not stretch. This is a trick play and this is the second time in our first 10 games we have seen it executed on us.
The pitchers hands are together with foot on plate and looking in as if to get sign, this is deliberate to act like he has forgotten to stretch, hands start upward movement like going into wind-up and split second later P steps off plate with lead foot and throws to first. I have ordered NFHS rule book but in the interim, can anyone give me rule # if this is a balk. thanx.
At 13U sometimes P does forget to stretch, but not very often. Our runners steal(if appropriate) when P forgets to stretch and begins wind-up. Maybe this is not correct.
What can hands do or not do once together and foot is on plate? thanx again.
