Question

Guest Coach Jim

After a pitcher has become set, and a runner takes off from second for a steal, must the pitcher step back off the rubber before throwing to third?

No. If the runner took off before the pitcher started his motion to pitch, the pitcher may step and throw to 3B. This is an attempt to retire a runner, and is the exception to the rule that states it is a balk to throw to an unoccupied base
