What a sneaky move! 😏⁠ ⁠ But why is a quick pitch called an illegal pitch?⁠ ⁠ According to umpire standards, a "quick pitch" is thrown before the batter properly settles in the batter's box.⁠ ⁠ When there are runners on base, the penalty is a balk; when there are none, the punishment is a ball.⁠ ⁠ While quick pitches look cool, our first concern will always be everyone's safety 🙌⁠ ⁠ #baseballgame #baseballlove #baseballswag #baseballfield #baseballtraining #baseballplays #ilovebaseball #lovebaseball #baseballnews #baseballyouth #welovebaseball #baseballplay #littleleague #strikeout #baseballcamp
