Balk?

[ciaschi18]

you can move your shoulder before you come set.

[killerwheeliebin]

You cannot move your shoulder! You can move your head and look over your shoulder! You cannot fake towards first or make any movement towards first without committing to a possible pick off! If you move your shoulder towards 1st without releasing the ball it's called a Bok/Bock!

[KoshHavis]

hes right..once you come set you are NOT allowed to move your shoulder.....unless your picking someone off

[McFizz00]

you can move your sholder, but you cant make a move toward home and then pick off. then it will be a balk
