Balk!!!!!! And who is he playing a trick on the ump or his 4 year old sister??? Cmon don’t show your hand sell It more Son!! Bet he lasted a couple of batters and was put where he is supposed to play. With magic cards in the corner with sis 😊
@@skullsweatz I stopped at 10 that's when I found the handplacements of the pitches way more comfortable than full hand but nah I get it the ptsd is real
@@jordanharrison8769tbf if you are a batter and see that its not tricking nobody. hes ok the rubber so he has to have the ball. and hes actively going through a throwing motion to home off the mound so he has to have the ball. as a hitter unless i have no object permenance then this kid obviously is about to throw the ball, and its not like the trick did anything really I mean all it did was look sorta weird for a second before throwing the ball. this shit isnt fooling anyone
The pitcher can not call time out. Players may request it, often by raising their hand. Unless the umpire grants time, it isn't time out. Example I saw once: a player slides into 2nd base, tries calling time but the umpire doesn't grant it, 2 seconds later the runner sees an opportunity to go to 3rd base and is permitted to do so.
@liltimmyvr it’s an attempt to deceive the batter/runner it’s a balk by intent alone. The only way to circumvent this part would be to do it every single pitch. Which I’m doubting, but that doesn’t fix the second part which is…. he goes to the mitt twice. That is also a balk whether intentional or not. Can only separate your hands ONCE after you come set. It’s a balk no matter what magical Bs you wanna say.
@liltimmyvr also he doesn’t really come set long enough. But that’s easily fixed. The ONLY WAY to make this not a balk, Is to set it up in the stretch, bring the throwing hand up showing empty and bring the glove up showing empty as you come set. Come set like normal, grab the ball off the top of the glove and pitch. And you’d have to do that every time. Coming set hands together then grabbing the ball off the glove as he’s staring his motion (separating twice) is a text book definition of a balk. The problem with doing it the way I said is that it wouldn’t achieve the desired effect, which is to deceive the batter, which again is the ENTIRE PURPOSE of having balk rules. Weird how it works out that way.
Need to add. That once he comes to a set position he cannot separate his hands except to start to his motion. He doesn't start his motion to the plate until after his pitching hand is in the air. So, essentially, he balked three different ways in this pitch. Other than that, excellent delivery. This kid knows how to pitch.
@@vortbtw6979 now there is according to new MLB rules, it’s an automatic ball. but there was definitely someone on base in this video, the kid checked the runner at first and looked at him, showing the empty glove and hand
@@QIA747._. Exactly. Standing still....straight up...knees locked. Nowhere close to ready to field a hit ball and quickly move from side to side. That is the OP's point - he is acting like he's playing baseball rather than actually playing. If he was actually playing baseball he would get his body in a ready, athletic position.
Michael, I think he's saying that in first person. He never says I, but.... There's never a plural. Therefore I believe he meant, "When (I'm) umpiring."
For those who didn’t know there is a little hole in the glove that he put his finger through and he held onto the ball with his pointer finger then grabbed the ball from his finger and pitched the ball
Nope and nope. Little League rules (8.01 b) don't require the pitcher to come set, and his hand wasn't on the ball when he started his motion and stayed on it once it was in his hand. In Little League, that is a legitimate pitch. The primary purpose of coming set is to prevent the pitcher from deceiving a base runner. Since LL runners can't leave the bag until the pitch reaches home, coming set becomes pretty much obsolete. Without the primary purpose, the secondary aspect of it being called a ball if no runners are on isn't really worth maintaining on it's own. As for the hand being on the ball, going by the wording of the relevant rules, what he's doing does not technically violate them. Edit: Basically, the hand on the ball requirement is part of the coming set rule. Since LL doesn't require coming set, it doesn't require that your hand be on the ball when you go from being set to your delivery.
@@possumverdeI get your point and I’m glad you source your stuff (most people don’t and just say things that aren’t true) but we don’t know if this is travel ball (club) or Little League. We don’t have enough context but if it is Little League you are correct ( I think it is travel ball mainly because I’ve never played on a turf field in little league but I don’t know how it is in other states.)
No. No one thought of doing it because it looks stupid and it has no functional purpose. He’d be better off picking his nose while taking signs distracting me as a hitter
After watching the video several times....THIS IS A BALK..(if there are any runners on base). HE COMMITTED TWO INFRACTIONS.....1) HE DOES NOT COME TO A COMPLETE SET (STOP) BEFORE PITCHING THE BALL.....2) A SECOND RULE SOME PEOPLE DON'T KNOW ABOUT. A PICTURE IS PROHIBITED FROM REMOVING EITHER HAND FROM THE GLOVE WHILE HE HIS IN CONTACT WITH THE PITCHERS PLATE (RUBBER). WITH NO RUNNERS ON BASE, MINOR INFRACTION COULD RESULT IN A Warning OF AN "ILLEAGLE" PITCH.
For some of you, some people have their glover with their index finger sticking out of the glove. He has he glove like this, so he is able to hold onto the ball with his index finger, and then take it out before releasing, tricking the hitters
