This California High School Regional Championship was tied 4-4, with two outs in the bottom of the 7th, and the ump called a balk to send in the winning run. Fishy?

Oh man, that’s awful. The only slight thing I can see is a very slight flutter of the right elbow during the ‘set’ position. So slight.

That, combined with the fact that he never completely came ‘set’…. Shitty way to lose but it’s a balk

He was definitely set. LOL

He’s definitely set. He is completely paused at his chest. You don’t have to bring your arms all the way down. The set position is where you make it, not where the umpire decides it is.

That just cold...

No balk that I saw. Someone wanted to be the star of the show. He should not be calling high school games any more.

I don't care if it was the last game of the World Series. It can't end on balk, almost no matter what.

Chicken shite call! Technically, yes, but 99% of baseball fans didn't see it and it had absolutely zero effect on the game. If I were the coach of the losing team, I would be raising hell. Both teams worked too hard for it to end like that!

good grief. Whatever the balk was for, it's a hyper-technicality.

I think he re-gripped the ball in his glove. Not sure if that is a balked.

Chicken shite

That was pretty bad for the moment.

Tough way to lose, def a balk though.

Explain. I've watched this over and over and see nothing wrong.
