Balk?

[jimurrayalterego]

Announcers and PU have this as a balk. I can't figure why. Maybe it's something we can't see from the front. It's NFHS site and might load slow.

How does an umpire crew let a F1 pitch with wrist-tape, wristbands, etc. on the throwing arm?? 🤔

Allowed in NFHS unless deemed distracting.

Looks like *maybe* a knee break on the front leg before the move to second.

i have that as part of the move but maybe it's more pronounced when seen from the front.

Try to do that spin move.  I have to push off on that front leg to make the spin - not break the knee first and then push off.

Your knee doesn't bend when you push off. The knee pop was intentional to get R2 leaning?

Just like most balks, probably wasnt intentional...
