That's because at the FED level, umpires have lousy balk timing. I can't count how many times a balk has been called by a partner for F1 failing to stop--only to see a throw to a base follow. Sadder still is the number of coaches who aren't aware that F1 doesn't have to stop when throwing to a base.

Of course, this is northern ball. Southern and western FED play is superior beyond belief to the crap that passes as baseball in the upper midwest.

Pitchers fail to release the pitch after a balk call in the NCAA around these parts approximately half the time. Post-balk batted balls (not necessarily home runs) occur frequently.
