    A balk is when the pitcher begins his pitching motion but then does not follow through with the throw. It's an automatic walk, just like hitting the batter.

    • This is not the accurate definition of a balk.

    • It is not an automatic walk. Only a runner on base may advance on a balk, not the batter.
