Dan,
For JR/SR/Big League, the only two illegal pitches defined are:
1. Delivering a pitch while not in contact
2. A "quick return" pitch
just as in OBR. As in OBR, these are both balks with one or more runners.
The "ball for what is normally a balk" only applies to Majors and below, and it only applies there when there ARE one or more runners.
