Rules on balks and illegal pitches in baseball
If a pitcher delivers while not in proper position and the batsman does not strike, it is a ball if bases are empty. With runners on base, an illegal delivery is ruled a balk and runners advance one base. If the batsman swings at such a ball, it counts as a strike or as the ensuing play.
