Faking throw to Third Play

[tiger79]

Has Little League and PONY leagues eliminated the "Pitcher's fake pick-off attempt to 3B pivot and then throw to 1B play"?

I do not know the answer to your specific question; however, be advised that the leagues that have changed the pickoff rule "disallow the feint to 3B."

Don't be caught up in the "then throw to 1B" portion that everyone talks about.

Some guys on here should definitely be able to answer the "pick to 3B" rule for those organizations. If I find the answer to either, I will let you know.

Faking to third is still legal in Little League.  Not sure about PONY.

PONY rulebook:."The official playing rules, with the exceptions and variations contained in this book, shall be ‘‘Official Rules of Major League Baseball’’ completely revised, as released through the office of the Commissioner of Baseball."

 

The Ponyrules do not change the OBR rule prohibiting feints to third.

 

But local rules or practices might.
