This Is Not A Balk 😮 - YouTube

I have finally found some information on what a balk is and what a balk isn't. This was not a balk. The announcers thought it was a balk. The Guardians' coach thought it was a balk, but this one isn't a bulk. And here's the bulk disengagement violation 2023 rule change. A balk occurs when a pitcher makes an illegal motion on the mound that the umpire deems to be deceptive to the runner. In this case, the runner was already going, so the pitcher can't be trying to deceive him. He's just trying to throw him out. So at least in this instance, I can tell you with 65% certainty this is not a balk.
