It's absolute BS that you are not in the league RN.

Let's get straight to the point: the balk call was technically correct under NPB rules. However, the situation is nuanced. NPB games are played under the "Konin Yakyu Kisoku(公認野球規則)," which literally translates to the Official Baseball Rules and is largely based on MLB's rules. However, the Japanese rule committee adopts MLB rule changes with a one-year delay. For instance, the "Buster Posey Rule" was implemented in NPB in 2015, a year after MLB's adoption in 2014. The core issue regarding the Set Position stems from the NPB's partial adoption of MLB's 5.07(a)(2) Comment in 2018 (following MLB's 2017 change). Specifically, NPB omitted the clause that allows a pitcher to declare their pitching position regardless of foot placement on the rubber (the pivot foot parallel to it and the free foot is IRRELEVANT). This is why your attempt to notify the umpires of your intention to pitch from the windup was disregarded. In essence, under MLB rules, your windup declaration would have prevented the balk call. However, under current NPB rules, the balk was valid.

I agree, Trevor.

Same thing happened to Luka at NBA, some rules are just different.

Oh, I see... That was how it seems to have happened, and your left foot "location" was the issue, right? Very interesting and thanks for posting, Trevor san 👍
