balk - toes don't point to the base
LHP lifts his leg and steps to 1stbase (45° angle) but his toes point towards homeplate as if he was pitching. is this a balk ?

doesn't matter where the toe is pointing

So if LHP F1's free foot and entire body heads toward 1st base, you are going to balk him because his toes are not pointing to 1st? I cannot decide which is harder, to picture this move or believe it would be balked.

How can you pick off the guy behind you if your foot has to point in that direction. I'm starting to picture "The Exorcism" but the foot is spinning instead.

As a practical matter, where the toes are pointing can help the umpire decide whether there was a motion to the plate before the throw, or to where the step was made. |
