Yeah, I never seen it called until the spring of 2016, and the coach said he had seen in a few times that season.@thavoice, it’s an illegal pitch simply because it’s a “quick pitch”, which is a disadvantage to the batter. People (not you, just in general) always think a balk is the act by the pitcher, but it simply describes the situation.
two exact violations are called different things to distinguish between runners on and bases empty
