The balk rule
I have been watching baseball for a long time now, and I am embarassed to say that I don't completely understand the balk rule. I know there is some difference in the rule depending on where the runner is on the bases. The only thing I know is that the pitcher's foot has to be off the rubber and pointing towards the base being thrown to, but I am not too sure. Can anyone explain to me exactly what the rule is?

Thanks.

About

This is a site about Pro Yakyu (Japanese Baseball), not about who the next player to go over to MLB is. It's a community of Pro Yakyu fans who have come together to share their knowledge and opinions with the world. It's a place to follow teams and individuals playing baseball in Japan (and Asia), and to learn about Japanese (and Asian) culture through baseball.

It is my sincere hope that once you learn a bit about what we're about here that you will join the community of contributors.
