If there is no one on base he can't balk......the umpire can "ball" you but not for that.....with no one on base you can start your delivery and stop and restart if you want.....now if it delays the game and gets out of hand that's another matter.......

cannot balk with no runners on base.....

ball has to cross foul line in order for it to be a ball or strike........

"ball" can be called for going to the mouth in the dirt (may vary from HS, Coll, Youth)....or delaying the game..........etc...

with runners on you can step off any time you like from the set or wind-up provided it's done legally WITH THE PIVOT FOOT and once again, doesn't become a problem delaying the game......
