Another Fed test question

[widac]

With a runner at first stealing, F1 legally turns to throw to second base only to find F6 in his normal fielding position. F1 goes ahead and throws to F6 who is twenty feet away from the base. As the base umpire, you will:

a.Call a balk, this is an illegal move.

b.Declare a "no" pitch and reset the defense.

c.Request an opinion from U1.

d.Let the play continue, nothing wrong has occurred.

I am going through the test meticulously for the 2nd time and noting citations for each question. The only thing I find close to this is 6.2.4j which has to do with a pick off at 1st and the 1B playing back. I've got either a or d but can't find if there's anything specific in the rules or casebook and I'd like to. Thanks

The answer is D

I believe you only need to throw directly to First Base

Thanks, I went with D. I don't see the difference except that maybe it ties in somehow to no feints to 1st. It bugs me that I can't see it written somewhere.

Definitely D. Check the casebook and see if you see anything there. Several of the questions are direct quotes from the casebook.

Let me correct myself. If F3 is going towards fist and in your judgement there is a play going to be made then you don't have to throw directly at the bag.
