In the NCAA play, the crew ruled that F1 disengaged. I trust Van Rapp's judgment on this over our grainy, distant video.

At this time I do not have a good idea but likely sometime between January - February '27. Similar timing to the previous.

R3 took umps off the hook by getting in. The step off occurred after F1 came set and then started arm motion to pitch which would be immediate balk. I would not have caught that start of motion myself in real time and probably would not have caught the step off. R3 being safe would have taken me off the hook also.

Do you know when they will be available? Trying to plan when to be on the lookout.

Regarding the "After" question we have this 2016 Interp: "SITUATION 17: A left-handed pitcher attempts to pick-off the runner at first base. Simultaneously with his throw, the pitcher picks up his pivot foot and places it behind the pitcher’s plate. The throw bounces off the first baseman’s glove and goes into dead-ball territory. The base umpire awards the runner third base, ruling that the pitcher was an infielder and the award is two bases. RULING: The award should be second base; only one base. The status of the pitcher at the time he made the attempted pick-off throw was still that of a pitcher, not an infielder. After the pitcher places his pivot foot on the ground clearly behind the pitcher’s plate, his status then changes to that of an infielder. Moving his pivot foot at the same time he attempts the pick-off does not change his status as a pitcher. (6-1-3, 8-3-3d)"

I have a jabstep/jumpturn and a balk. MLBUM: (i) It is legal for a right-handed pitcher to begin a pickoff move to first base by first moving his pivot foot in the direction of third base provided that he makes a legal step toward first base with the non-pivot foot before throwing there and provided that the move is continuous and without interruption. A pitcher who makes such a pickoff move is considered to be in contact with the rubber when he makes his throw to first base.

Are you sure he said he was a captain in the Navy? He may have said he was going to be the captain of your crew because he only wears navy.
