I just got done a High School Game here in Canada and just called a balk to second!

F1 with the bases loaded wheeled around and in one motion threw to F4 who was 15ft away from 2nd and a good 60ft from any runner.

And the rule reference for your call please?

There is a lot of merit to be learned from the saying IIITBTSB. If you are in doubt then don't call it, because its probably a missed call.


If there is a balk involving a runner at second base, then its usually because the pitcher did something illegal as far as the pitch etc., it has nothing to do with his move to second base, (of which just about anything is legal)

Thanks
David
