Would this be considered a balk
If pitcher takes the sign while on the rubber with the ball in his glove and not his throwing hand with runners on base then comes to the set position before delivering the pitch. Would it be considered a balk.

Catcher Faking Throw
Two interesting plays this week highlighted the need to be sure our catchers know the correct way to fake a throw to 2nd with men on 1st & 3rd. Game #1: had a catcher try to fake the throw with the ball actually in his throwing hand. He started the throw to 2nd looking realistic but as his throwing arm moved through the slot he began to let up in an effort to not accidentally loose his grip on the ball. Two things happened, one he didn’t fool anyone with the “fake”, and...
