OK, I am going to try and explain this the best that I can. Right handed pitcher, runner on first. Pitcher picks foot up slowly (about midpoint between knee and ankle) then turns and throws to first. No movement was made toward home. Is this a balk? One umpire told me that as soon as he lifts his non-pivot foot, a right handed pitcher has to go to the plate and cannot throw to first. Is this accurate? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
