Question
fishnfed
Fed rules, R1, R3, and lefthanded pitcher. After F1 comes set, R1 begins to run, F1 raises his front foot and spins towards 2nd and becomes disengaged from the pitcher's plate. R1 stops and the pitcher throws to F6 who is moving towards 2nd. I have no balk since the pitcher came off the rubber, threw to a fielder moving towards the bag and R1 was advancing. It was a bit odd looking, but that was my thought process. Anything from the Knowledge Base? Thanks

No balk as long as it was in a continuous motion. That is merely a pivot move, and he didn't need to come off the rubber. He was attempting to make a play on a runner that seemed to be running.
