Quick question:
I know that in High School, the hybrid stance is illegal and I also know that it does not become illegal until the pitcher actually makes a move that commits him to pitch (merely standing on the rubber in hybrid stance does not constitute a violation.) My question relates to a pickoff move. If the pitcher is standing on the rubber in a hybrid stance and then attempts to pick off a runner, is this a balk or is it fine since he didn't pitch the ball?

Emphasis (bold) mine. And this is precisely why our state (of Arizona) is uber-proactive about "fixing it" ad nauseam. If there are no runners on, and F1 is in the hybrid, don't let him pitch. F
