I have to say Ditto to Macaroo. Depending upon the level of ball you are calling, you have to adjust how you call balks. I did a FED game yesterday. 13-14 yrs old. We could have called balks on mostly every pitch. We called one balk because it was obvious to everyone. Calling 10-20 balks in this game would have been a joke. In a game like this, I usually base my balk judgment on two things. If it was an obvious balk to all, and if it actually deceived the runner. I will call balks on pitchers if either of these criteria are met. I never hear a word from coaches when I follow these guidlines. Of course I do call the rest of the game by the book.
