4) Award a ball to the batter for the Illegal Pitch.

Because the runner violated the Look Back rule there is no option for the Offensive Coach for the Illegal Pitch.

Ugggh... no, this is not a look back rule violation. It's a violation of the rule that requires the batter to maintain contact with the base until the ball is pitched. (8-6-18 not 8-7-anything)

I believe there's an exception to the rules specifically for leaving early that is caused by an illegal pitch though I couldn't find it at first glance in my book.
