In simpler, better times, the batter would have charged the mount immediately and tried break that idiot's fingers

My coach would have been happy if I threw a strike at any time.

Thats a balk. Ball left pitchers hand after he started his windup. Totally not legal and ump is dumb.

A balk is only called to prevent the pitcher from confusing runners on base. If there are no runners, no balk. I'm not aware of any rules preventing confusing the batter.

It the ump thought it was a balk, the pitch could have been called a ball since no one was on base.

He had it with his one finger on the back of glove. My coach would have put me on the bench

So how exactly do we know it confused the batter? Because it was a looking strike? What was the count?

If he had to resort to trickery they must have been smashing everything else

That is a balk. If no runners on base then the pitch is called a ball.

That was not worth the risk of balking or bad pitch. In Ville platte, coach Donny would’ve made you run for days for something like that.
