I would appreciate some feedback. Thanks.
Hmmm....a bit confusing here....did he "feint" to first first and if so, did he disengage first before throwing to the SS? If this is the scenario and he DID disengage, it's not a balk (for throwing to the SS who was in his normal position). If he feinted to first WITHOUT disengaging first, he balked.
If his "legal feint" was to SECOND first and then he threw to the SS, he did not balk.
