Legal move or no? This is how our 15U lost today at the Prep Baseball nationals. 1st & 3rd, lefty on the mound. Our guy goes on leg raise, pitcher recognizes & fakes to first, disengages and throws him out at 2B. We were told confidently that it is a legal move on an “advancing” runner. My understanding is a pitcher cannot fake a pick to 1B while still engaged with the rubber?! Every fiber in my body thinks this is a balk. Zoom for a better look..

Big shoutout to Chris Sale for winning the NL Cy Young award! I’d also like to thank Chris, as I now appear slightly cooler to my kids for hitting that home run off him 12 years ago. Experts argue this moment was the turning point in his career.
