A. Balk. Throw has to have the possibility of getting the runner out. Throw does not reach the cutout area of the dirt and therefore could not get the runner out. Ball can be thrown wild and past the base, but has to at least reach that area and first base to be a legitament throw. If throw reaches the first baseman, he/she has also to be in a position to make a play on the runner or you have a balk.
