Steve Carlton, a Hall of Fame pitcher, was known for his unique and sometimes unconventional pitching style, which contributed to the high number of balks in his career. His complex windup and varied deliveries often involved intricate timing and movements, making it easier for umpires to call him for balks. Additionally, Carlton's tendency to overthink his pitches and make adjustments mid-delivery may have led to violations of the balk rule. Overall, his distinctive approach to pitching, while effective, also resulted in a higher incidence of balks.
Yes, balks are recognized in Babe Ruth League baseball. The rules governing balks are similar to those in other levels of baseball, where a pitcher commits a balk if they make an illegal motion while on the mound with a runner on base. This includes actions like failing to come to a complete stop or delivering a pitch without properly engaging the rubber. Umpires enforce these rules to ensure fair play and maintain the flow of the game.
When the pitcher balks. Or, when caught illegally such as with an illegal glove, or in your equipment (hat, mask,shirt, etc.).
the run is unearned unless the runner would have later scored anyway
