Yeah it was pretty much a 2 part question now that I think about it.
I know that he was on the "rubber" (thanks) when he threw the ball, which is what I thought was a balk, so I was wrong there.
However, because of his body angle when he threw the ball, I can guarantee he did not step towards the base when he threw the ball.
The more I read about these rules, the more I figure out it was a balk for sure, but not for my reasoning.
Thanks for the link too..I'm ordering one as we speak.
