Could someone explain the difference as to when its a balk and when its only a ball on batter, when pitcher goes to mouth and neglects to wipe off. I'm of the understanding that while off rubber, goes to mouth with out wiping off, than steps on rubber, that a ball on batter. How about when pitcher is standing on rubber and goes to mouth, balk. Please state rule number to back up your reply.
Thanks,
