Lefty pitcher, Low set at Waist, Lifts Knee up straight, and Hands up then throws to first or home. If this happens and he throws to first is this a balk? For the moving of his hands? Or would he need to pump his hands some, as in Come up and drop before separating and throwing to first? The hand movement was exactly the same and seemed separate from the throwing action. In fact sometime when he threw home he would not move hands at all. He only threw over to first twice, and I couldn't convince myself either way if it was a balk, so I never called it. Not sure what I would have done had he persisted.
