Text | [reviewing the new rules] Though no change has been made in the rule governing balks, the strict letter of the rule will be enforce this season, and no preliminary motion made by the pitcher to deliver the ball to the bat will be allowed to go unpunished by the balk penalty, if it be not immediately followed by the pitching of the ball to the bat. Last season pitchers violated the balk rule with impunity, and the result was a marked falling off in base-running. |
