Balk
R1, R3, pitcher comes to legal set. Lifts free foot to the balance position and drops the free foot exactly where he started. Does that constitute a step? Can he legally attempt a 3B to 1B pick-off? After doing this FED game.
J/R on p. 142 states that it is not a balk if a pitcher "steps" to:
(c) third or second base and interrupts or hesitates in his motion or throw. The step toward the base suffices to constitute a feint or throw, so any action after the step is legal [NFHS 6.2.4c]
Your thoughts?
