They nailed it. I recall this play being discussed a while ago here. At the time, an umpire insisted that it was a balk since the pitch never crossed the plate or foul lines. That sounded good until your note that the batter is called out on the strike, so it had to be a viable pitch. This is just another great example of why this game is amazing and we have to be on our toes.

Have a great season.
