I need some help interpretting a possible balk situation. OBR rules.
Pitcher engages the rubber from the set position. Before he goes into his stretch, is he allowed to step to a base and throw to that base. Coach is adamant that he must come to the set position before he throws to a base. Looking at rule 8.01 the pitcher must go from the stretch to set "without interuption and in one continuous motion". 8.01 also states that "anytime during his preliminary motion and before he is commits to pitch he may step and throw to a base". Your thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
