Question
My son's a lefty and when he pitches from the stretch position he kicks his right foot towards first base but continues to pitch home. He has been warned about a balk. We were always taught it's legal to kick your(foot)and still come home with the pitch. He is not crossing the plains with his foot.Is this a balk?
Answer
Glenn,
I just can't answ3er this question based on a description alone. Balks are difficult to diagnose and there is significant judgement involved. I'd suggest going and talking to a knowledgeable coach who can watch your son pitch and help you make a determination.
Hope this helps!
Brian
