This might be a HTBT but I'll try to explain:
Left-handed F1 On a pick off throw to 1st, F1 lifts his right leg & pauses his leg for a split second. While he's doing this he starts leaning directly toward 1st. Then he steps directly to 1st & throws there. His leg does pause, but his body is in constant motion. Balk or not?? |
Hey,
. . . WHERE YOU BEEN?
Good move, no balk. |
Agree with Tee, no balk.
Good chance of a picked off R1, though. |
No, I didn't call the balk. I just wanted reassurance.
Garth-Not 1, but 3 picked off runners! |
What about the lean before the leg lift?
Had a pitcher do it several times yesterday but I did not balk him. Looked weird, but I just considered it part of his preliminary motion. He threw to first every time he leaned. Would you have balked him for this movement? Thanks! |
