Runner on first base Pitcher on rubber Runner on first fakes a steal Pitcher on rubber turn to throw to second Pitcher does not throw the ball Since pitcher was on the rubber and made turn in direction of first Is this considered a balk? Pitcher never stepped off rubber to make the throw. Since pitcher was turning in the direction of first base while runner was on would that be deception and shouldn't pitcher have to throw the ball.
Many people are saying this is legal that pitcher can turn and attempt put out at Second. My main question While on the rubber with man on first any attempt of pitcher's movement toward first is a balk?
