Baseball rules on illegal pitches and balk appeals
The document explains that an illegal pitch counts as a strike. It states balk decisions rest with the umpire and no appeal is needed. It allows a batsman to reach base if hit by a ball, regardless of speed, if the umpire judges the batter tried to avoid being hit. It confirms the baserunner may steal on a foul tip caught, and that a pitcher on the rubber cannot feint delivery to the batsman without risking a balk call.
