Awards for a balk
At any time during a pitchers wind-up a balk is called by either umpire (the pitch is delivered to the batter).
1. No runners on base batter swings (ball or strike)? 2. With runners on base and full count to batter what is the award? 3. Batter is hit by pitch? In the NFHS rule book a balk (6.1.1,2,3) is a immediately dead ball in the situations above can any of the pitches be legal? My confusion stems from the Senior Little League balk penalty rule of ball four, hit batter or batter hits the pitch. It states that "when a balk is called it is neither a ball nor strike unless the pitch is ball four awarding the batter first base forcing the runners to advance". Little League Rule Book (8.05m) How can the these situations happen if the ball is immediately dead?
