Ok you are correct. Thank you for the correction.

Now for a question.

What exactly is a feint? Meaning that he turned his shoulder in a fake to get the runner to go back?

A quick snap to lead the runner to believe a throw is coming




I stand corrected...learned something new. The shoulder turning was pretty jerky or I didn't call it. Correct?

you are working 9-10's, they will come set and look with thier head towards first, most, if not all, will turn some shoulder also...let that go. Now, at the very end of 8.05, there is a shaded area. Basically it states that "intent to decieve" shall govern. These little guys have minimul grasp of the mechanics of pitching, I will always nail the failure to come set(by far the most common)but the herky-jerky-still figuring it out mechanical issues....let em know(as well as the coach) between innings. Nobody wants a walk-a-thon or balk-a-thon(especially when the runner doesn't even know what is going on)JMHO
