nfhs test

I need some help with #51 With R1 at third and R3 at first,R3 takes several hard steps in what turns out to be a bluff to steal second.In the set position
F1,without simulating a pitch,wheels and steps toward and feints a throw to second while R3 is taking his steps to second.U1 will call
A.A legal move in the given circumstance
B.A balk,both runners awarded one base
C.A balk,As F1 did not step back legally from the pitching plate before he made the feint
D.The move is legal only if R3 actually attempted to steal second

Cool

rails,

Check out case play 6.2.4A and see if that clears it up for you.

In FED you only need a feint -

So I ask you, had the runner not stopped would this be legal?

And I ask you, is it a legal move even though the runner did stop?

In OBR the runner must be committed to the base before the pitcher is making a play rather than "throwing to an unoccupied base." In FED, the runner does not have to be committed to the base, he needs to only feint toward the base.

To answer your question, in FED (as is the OP) Yes, it's legal.
- F1 is making an attempt to play on the runner or to drive the runner back. (I think that would be the correct verbiage from the rule book.)

It does not. From the sit, it could be judged that a few hard steps in what appears to be bluff is a feint.
