Question

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!

Balk him because he tipped off his move to first? Don't think so....
