Should we be calling this?

[Whonu19]

I was watching a jv game today. Not that the score matters, but it is second and third, 2 outs in a tie game (middle innings- 3rd or fourth). Pitcher is in wind up. Batter puts his hand up and asks for time; it was not granted... pitcher stops his wind up and pu calls balk. DC argues the batter caused the balk....

What do people think?

[JaxRolo]

No Balk. The batter can not cause a balk.

It is the only do over in baseball. If the batter steps out or throws his hand up and the pitcher stops, both screwed up so just start over again. Apply 11.03g to DM.

Not a balk. It's a "do-over"

Rich do you have the NCAA ruleing?

Rich do you have the NCAA ruleing?

9-3-g A.R.—If the pitcher, with a runner on base, stops or hesitates the delivery because the batter steps out of the box, holds up a hand or uses any other action as if calling time, it shall not be a balk. The rule has been violated by both the batter and the pitcher, and the umpire shall call “Time†and begin the play anew.

Good stuff guys!! This happened to me last season, and that is what I did ....TIME...don't do that, ....do-over ....

BUT ....QUESTION:

If a runner is stealing on the pitch, ...he goes back ....everything re-sets to before the incident, correct? I KNOW, I KNOW, stupid question, but just re-affirming............thanks ...

OP doesn't say the batter steps out which is specifically referenced in all of the rules citations. If he stays in the box in this sitch I have a balk.

Re-read Andrew's post:

Whoops, my bad. I should read before typing sometimes. Sorry.

[SinCityBlue]

Once you call "Time" it doesn't matter what the pitcher does because the ball becomes dead immediately and you just "re-start", so to speak, of course only once you've put the ball back in to play.
