bob jenkins bbman wroteIs it possible to balk to second base? If so, how? Are you asking whether it's possible to balk while a runner is on second? Or, is this a semantics challenge on the IITBTSB canard?
bbman Coach says if pitcher steps back, spins and fakes throw, it's nothing. But if pitcher just spins around, w/o actually stepping off, fakes throw, it's a balk.

It's legal to feint to second from the rubber. It's illegal to feint to first from the rubber. It's illegal to feint to third from the rubber in OBR; it's legal to do so in FED.
