Pickoffs

[Guest Trout]

Hello there!

I have some questions about pickoffs:

1. from windup position the pitcher must step off (disengage) before throwing to a baseman?
2. for lefty there is one more move to 1B? Lefties can cheat by stepping at a 45 degree between home and first base and still throw to 1B. But the right handers can do the same to 1B?
3. can the right handers do the same to 3B or 2B?
4. can the lefty do the same to 2B or 3B?
5. What are the rules in manual about this moves?

The guys have been trying to help, but its frustrating for an answer to be given to your question and then you question that answer. I'm not sure if there's a language barrier, but regardless I recommend reading and studying the OBR rules yourself. You'll find the pitching rules primarily in section 5.07.

I am really sorry, scuse me. But in the rules there isn't any about this pickoff moves. I thank you all really. I don't understand this unconventional step off via a feint to 2B or 3 base.

Is it legal only with the inside move or also with jump turn because in this case the pivot foot goes forward and not backward like rules say.
