Question
tmaze
I know it is legal for a pitcher to throw to the SS or second baseman on a pickoff attempt even if they are not covering second base as long as the pitcher steps directly toward second. Jim Evans goes over this in his balk video. Where does it say this in the rules or the commentary? I want to have it handy when our pitcher does that so that it is not called a balk by an umpire who does not know the balk rules.
