BALK RULING

[LAREF]

QUICK BALK RULING UNDER MAJOR LEAGUE RULES. PITCHER DOES NOT COME SET AND DELIVERS THE PITCH. BASE UMP CALLS BALK. THE PITCH IS DELIVERED-A STRIKE. RUNNER ON FIRST STEALS SECOND. WHAT IS THE CORRECT RULING. DOES THE PITCH COUNT?

LARF,

The ball is dead, no pitch, runners advance one base without liability to be put out.

Take a look at OBR 8.05 (m) PENALTY.

PENALTY: The ball is dead, and each runner shall advance one base without liability to be put out, unless the batter reaches first on a hit, an error, a base on balls a hit batter, or otherwise,, and all other runners advance at least one base, in which case the play proceeds without reference to the balk.

....how can the batter take ball 4 and proceed to 1B, or reach first on a hit, get hit, etc if its 'no pitch?'

its an immediate dead ball in FED.

I think what he probably meant was that in this sitch, there was no play in which the BR could have advanced, therefore the "no pitch" is that the strike is not added to the count.
