How does one's association call it. Example; In FED, there is the "gorilla" balk and years ago F1 could not check a runner. There were some associations who would not call this "technicality" a balk hence no call was made. Same with the Gorilla Balk. Therefore the REAL answer is What is the concenses in the association you work for. Pete Booth

My association goes by what our state interpreter says, not by consensus. Until he tells us the jab step is a balk, I ain't calling it. Our meeting with the interpreter is Feb. 2. I will bring up the subject and report back here. |

Well . . .
One more rules set thinks it is OK:
I received an e-mail from Jim Paranto of the NCAA today. Jim's point is: "Tim, think about a right handed pitcher during the "fake to third and throw to first" pickoff move. The pivot foot disengages 'forward.' "The move you described is based along the same logic as this play. Have everyone reread 9-3b (1) (2) (3). "I hope this answers your question." Regards, |

It's not much different from the "step to teh side" in the wind-up position. THe rule said "step backwards and forwards" for years (and in some codes still might say that), but everyone allowed the step to the side. The (FED) rule finally caught up a couple of years ago. Oh -- the 25-words or less answer: Don't be a f***ing plumber. |

A feint to any base requires a step with the non-pivot foot NFHS 6-2-4-b. In a night game the only way I can see it not being a balk is if the lights were not good enough for the officials to see what the pitcher did with his pivot foot. |
