Unless you are a total baseball geek or are a pitcher the balk rules are the hardest to understand. I totally respect those college plus pro pitchers that have this in their brain. Also to all players that need to know what is going on at all times. American league , please get rid of the '73 DH rule especially because of the interleauge games. If you want to be on the field you need to man up to the plate.

"Talking out of turn... That's a paddlin’. Looking out the window... That's a paddlin’. Staring at my sandals... That's a paddling. Paddling the school canoe...ooh, you better believe that's a paddlin’." Sorry this rule reminds me of this quote.

what if a RHP has his right foot on de rubber, makes a windup, lifts his left leg, holds it there in a pauze and then throws to first without taking his right foot off the rubber... would that be a balk?

To pick off a runner at first as a right handed pitcher you need to step off the rubber or else its a balk
-
@Hollywooddave123 if you're not on the rubber and taking signals its a balk, also if you move your feet in any way to either start a pitch or pickoff, and you don't do either, its a balk.

From the wind up can a right handed pitcher step back with his right foot and throw to first with his left foot still on the rubber?

Very well put together video. I never realized how easily a balk could be called or how many different ways a pitcher could commit one.
-
An ump called a balk on me for taking signals from the catcher while I was leaning forward looking at the catcher but my body was kinda straight up facing the sky. Is that a balk?
