Balk?
OBR rules - 12U league. RHP toes the rubber with his hands separated, glove by his left leg and ball in his right hand by his right leg. His free foot is closer to third than his pivot foot and there is roughly a foot between the two and the pitcher is completely upright. Upon coming set, the only part of his body that moves are his hands. His lower body stays still. Is this a legal pitching delivery or a balk. My partner and I feel as if it was a balk however the coach was adamant that this was legal. Thoughts?
Second part of the question is does the above ruling change depending on the rule set that is used?
