IF* you're going to explain to the coach, use the words from the rule book -- didn't step toward the base, made a motion and stopped (or started and stopped), didn't stop, etc. That's it. Period.


* -- Some would say not to explain the balk at all.
Very well put. Say as little as possible, but use as much of the rule book as possible.

Called a balk today and coach said would you explain to the kid what he did wrong??

I said, coach that's your job. Tell him don't turn his shoulders after coming to the set position.

Thanks
David
I always tell the pitcher what he did wrong while I'm cleaning off the pitcher's plate and adjusting my indiclickercounter.
