Question
SH0102
Please help settle friendly debate had with a fellow umpire:
With R1, can a LHP use the pickoff move where they lift stride leg and step and throw to first without having first come set?
ie, pitcher bends down, takes sign, starts to come set by standing, and while coming set, but before getting set, lift front leg up and then steps and throws to first.
Balk or nothing since he didn’t pitch it?
Edit: I assumed the answer is same in all codes but if differs, please share. Thanks!
