Step toward FED-landia
Feinting requires distance and direction. ONE must throw toward 1B without feinting, unless ONE legally breaks contact with the plate first. A wild throw in this manner is consistent with a one base award (direct throw) or two base award (breaking contact).
A pitcher may legally step and feint to 3B and then turn and step toward 1B in ONE continuous motion while over the pitcher's plate. FED rules allow a pitcher to feint towards F3 after feinting towards F5 without properly disengaging from the pitcher's plate. The pitcher remains the PITCHER and both runners should be aware of this LEGAL attempt to deceive them. A wild throw while engaged or NOT in this manner is only consistent with a ONE base award in FED-landia.
