You allow, in FED, FI, IN CONTACT with the rubber, to throw to first without stepping off or stepping to the base?
I know your sympathies lie with the pitcher, but, c'mon.
FED 6-4-2
If there is a runner or runners, any of the following acts by a pitcher while he is touching the pitching plate, is a balk:
(b) failing to step with the non-pivot footdirectly toward a base (occupied or unoccupied) when throwing or feinting there in an attempt to put out, or drive back a runner....
You may consider me wrong in three states. I'm convinced you're wrong in 48.
Wow.

Hmmmmm why not 50??  must be a new math thing... 50 -3 = 48
I would venture it's the same everywhere else they play baseball and actually know you must have distance and direction to any base when in contact with the rubber....
