If he's lifting the foot, balk him. If he's buckling his knee toward a base, balk him.


Tim.
It must be like wiggling your ears but, the result is the same. actually I have never seen it either.

I once worked with a guy that balked a kid twice for lifting his pivot foot up off the pitching plate and setting it back down to pitch, in the windup. Maybe about a 1/2 inch. After throwing out the coach and making a complete A** of hisself, I told him to stand in the field and get the calls right on the basesw, I will call the Balks.
