this so-called "fielder's balk" is one of the strangely pervasive myths in youth baseball. IT has no basis in the rules.
Depnding on the "expert" you believe, and the rules code being used, straddling the line might be legal. Even if it's not, the penalty is to require teh fielder to be completley in fair territory. If the fielder refuses to comply, then he can be ejected -- but that "never" happens. |
