  • @tycekoenig16 no it's not it's 45 degrees

  • Thats a Balk

  • thumbs up if it paused at 1:44

  • @dmiller8813 its a 45 degree... and it's not a bock

  • @dmiller8813 This rule is rarely enforced. Besides, this is a "balk move" meaning, you are doing it knowing you may or may not actually get a balk called on you. This guy knows what hes doing. I PREACH to my kids to walk it off just like this guys teaching. Hes 100 percent correct, the opposing teams coach almost always calls balk first and if you walk it off this will ALMOST NEVER get called.

  • that is a fat bock!! you have to step in a 90 degree angle. you made a mostion towards home!!

  • Watch for tendencies your feet were close together when you came set. In other videos you rarely brought your feet closer together. Good instruction.

  • @cheezedudle actually the rule depends on whether or not you leading foot is pointed toward third or home, therefore as soon as u start to move forward u have to throw home or it's a balk

  • Thanks Mike, we just left little league and are now playing aau. Time for me to brush up on pickoff moves so I can teach the youngster. I have a vid of him here on youtube pitching in one of his LL games this year. If you have time take a look. Been a while since I sent you a vid of him. Have a great day.

  • @jeter2tino24 no. as long as your momentum is not carried to home and you are clearly throwing to third.
