if runners are on second and third or bases loaded you are in the wind up and yes it is a balk.

No. In order to call a balk, there must be a runner on base.
In your situation with no runners on base, it's simply a "no pitch." Everyone resets and does it again. If the ball slipped out of the pitcher's hand and rolled across the foul line, it is considered a pitch (since it crossed the foul line) and a "ball" would be called and added to the batter's count based on the pitch. If the ball slipped out of the pitcher's hand but did not roll across the foul line, it's simply a no pitch.
I'm a 6 to 6'1 left handed pitcher, with all my work outs, I should be throwing 88-93. what are my chances of possibly getting drafted?

Is surgery to repair a torn labrum in the throwing shoulder of a pitcher even worth it? I'm 16 years old and could throw lower 70's

Cole Hammels (philly pitcher) pitched a bad game on Saturday. Later he said he pitched the game with a "dead arm", what does this mean?

You're reading A pitcher begins a new inning in a wind up position and as the first pitch is being thrown he procceds to fall off the rubber, but does not throw the ball is this considered a balk?
