I know there are many threads on this so, if you could lead me there. Or a quick yes or no.
OBR R2, pitcher comes set. Spins on his pivot foot for a pick-off attempt but ends up stepping toward 3rd while FEINTING a throw to 2nd, runner was not moving. I read the OBR rule but it states throwing....etc I was PU and called a balk for failing to step toward 2nd when throwing or feinting. Did I blow it? I'm beginning to think I did. Thanks.

OBR, pitcher must step before he THROWS, but a step is not required for a legal feint.
FED, a step is required in both cases.

The official interpretation from the PBUC staff is that, just like the FED, the pitcher must step before a throw or a feint. Interpretation 248-359: OBR- "The pitcher must step toward the occupied base whether throwing or feinting."

I stand corrected. NCAA a step is not required for a legal feint. OBR is like FED, based on off. interp.
Good catch guys.

I got this out of the 2006 BRD, at my desk at work. Could be it's been revised since then?? NCAA: Pitcher must step before he throws, but the step is not required for a legal feint. (9-3c).
