Shoulder turn

[soundedlikeastrike]

OBR. what are you allowing or balking out there in regards to the shoulder turn towards 1b by RH F1? Any case studies or interps out there?

My scenario; RH F1 w/R1, in contact, from the stretch position, not set.

F1 makes a sudden and violent "turn of the shoulders", no foot movement, no arm motion, hands were still apart.

I balk him, I take that back, I call time, and "instruct" as we are asked to do for this first week of the season, these are U13's subjected to their first season of "lead offs, holding runners".

I explain: "you just made a fake to 1B without throwing".

So comments please: What are you allowing or not, under OBR, for "shoulder turns":

1. from the stretch

2. from the set
