Fake to 3rd. FED rules

[Guest Mike]

Under OBR, it's a balk as of a few years ago.  Did FED adopt the same rule?

no

Nor did NCAA.

as already stated, the "3-1" move is still legal in FED.

early in the season it'll still get "that's a balk" squawks

Did a 14u travel ball tourney using FED rules... 3-1 move actually worked and hung R1 out to dry for the 3rd out. Entire offensive dugout is yelling 'but that's a balk!'... all the plate guy said to them was 'high school rules guys... totally legal'...

My favorite game mgmt technique for such a statement is giving my best quizzical "Are you stupid or just dumb?" look for a few seconds, then bemusedly turning away. Extra points for nearly inaudible but well-timed chuckling.
