What does it mean when the pitcher alks in baseball?
When a pitcher balks in baseball, it means that he did something illegal. There is a certain way that a pitcher has to come set or has to throw from the windup before a pitch. It’s in the rulebooks what you have to do, and it’s very basic. Any time you deviate from those basic rules, what happens is the umpire will call a balk and play will stop, and wherever the runners are, they will all move up 90 feet.
